In the Torah
The Torah holds 128,116 sequences of ששק at skips 2–5,000, 6.0% above what chance alone gives (about 120,826); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 4.5 × 10⁻⁹⁶ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 25:32, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,945,091 sequences of ששק, against about 1,872,758 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 120,826 of it, so a large count is expected.
