In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, נדו appears 321,924 times in the Torah — 0.3% more than the 320,940 chance alone would give; the probability of 321,924 or more by chance alone is 0.04.

The shortest skip at which נדו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:18, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נדו is found 4,946,612 times; chance alone would give about 4,974,424.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 320,940 of it, so a large count is expected.
