In the Torah

The Torah holds 835,334 sequences of עמה at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 837,952).

The shortest skip at which עמה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:10, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עמה is found 13,084,318 times; chance alone would give about 12,987,893.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 837,952 of it, so a large count is expected.
