Where the wild words are

What words are most frequent in the vocabulary of the Psalms? What is their distribution over the Psalter?

These two questions are of somewhat limited interest - but could be fun in learning the frequently used words.

This is a limited and not necessarily 100% true result since my 'root recognition algorithm' is still in its infancy. (There are definitely some false hits! - I will keep the selects so I can see if the root algorithm improves in the next 6 months.)

Here are the top 38 records. In my next 2 posts, I will show charts of the distribution of the great 8 from psalm 119 and of other high content words like: wicked, righteous, enemy, sin, earth, heaven, king, etc.

I see I have a few exceptions to the rules to code - proper names like יִשְׂרָאֵל and such and regular plurals (like מִשָּׁמַיִם - heavens!) that are probably not in the root table I have.

It is a bit of an accident that psalms 14 and 53 turn up so often! They happen to be the last two that I split into separate diagrams so the highly frequent words are used in both these diagrams.
