In the Torah
The Torah holds 737,216 sequences of טרן across every skip (2–152,424) — about what chance alone gives (about 757,546).
The shortest skip at which טרן appears in the Torah is 2 — at Leviticus 14:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which טרן was found in the Torah is 152,034 — at Genesis 1:16, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 757,546 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 737,216 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.
