# Line position carries information about first glyphs

The line position of a word carries 0.12 bits about its first glyph and 0.06 about its last, about a hundred times what the same lines carry in Latin or in slot-grammar text; line-first words are longer (4.9 glyphs) and line-last shorter (4.4) than inside words (4.5).
