Pursuing stats for a moment

The numbers below are R: the ratio of the absolute sum of the letters to the number of words for a psalm, G the absolute sum of the letters, W the word count.

The number of a letter is as follows
alef to yod, 1-10
kaf to sadeh, 20-90
qof to taw, 100-140 (no distinction between sin and shin)
final letters kaf to sadeh 150-190

There is a certain digital irony! How did base 10 get mixed into base 22/27 and mapped to base 256 colouring scheme.

R = G/W rounded to the integer
(The Psalms with no link are not yet available in my current drafts.)

Word counts range from a low of 17 to a high of 530 (Psalm 78) (excepting psalm 119 which is 1064). You can see from the graph that the majority of the psalms have word counts in the 50 to 180 range. (The red colour is just for ease of scanning so you can see where you are).
