In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), נאטו appears 81,753 times in the Torah — 8.3% more than the 75,517 chance alone would give; the probability of 81,753 or more by chance alone is 2.6 × 10⁻¹¹¹.
The shortest skip at which נאטו appears in the Torah is 2 — at Leviticus 24:15, reading forward.
The longest skip at which נאטו was found in the Torah is 101,227 — at Genesis 1:21, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 81,753 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.
Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
