In the Torah

The Torah holds 78,522 sequences of סנה at skips 2–5,000, 2.2% above what chance alone gives (about 76,868); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.4 × 10⁻⁹ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 44:29, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,204,185 sequences of סנה, against about 1,191,426 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 76,868 of it, so a large count is expected.
