Run · Proto-cuneiform: the archaic texts of Uruk
Blind replication: archaic names against Sumerian names, rebuilt from raw data
Name-element enrichment against a corpus baseline: Token odds ratio of Englund's Sumerian name-element signs in personal names against other words, 95% text bootstrap.

| Run | Token odds ratio of Englund's Sumerian name-element signs in personal names against other words, 95% text bootstrap | {'ED I-II': [4.12, 2.38, 9.03], 'ED IIIa': [3.56, 3.14, 4.01], 'ED IIIb': [3.72, 3.56, 3.88], 'Uruk III-IV': [1.34, 1.06, 1.61], 'ED, proper nouns out of baseline': {'ED I-II': 6.18, 'ED IIIa': 4.92, 'ED IIIb': 4.5}, 'Uruk, baseline from name-bearing texts only': [0.92, 0.6, 1.66]} | ED I-II 5.84 · ED IIIa 4.86 · ED IIIb 4.47 · Uruk III-IV [1.35, 1.09, 1.6] · original_runs RUN0DFQT81BSPP3, RUN0DFVQR5WN96F | Replicates. The archaic odds ratio matches to the second decimal; the Sumerian values depend on whether divine and place names count as ordinary words (3.6–4.1 if they do, 4.5–6.2 if not, as in the original). The gap holds in every variant. |
