In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for ניו, and יורק has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 1,439,884 sequences of ניו at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 1,440,212).
The shortest skip at which ניו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:8, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ניו is found 21,484,258 times; chance alone would give about 22,322,657.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,440,212 of it, so a large count is expected.
