Measured on the corpus, both orthographies:
whitespace tokens — Uthmani rasm
whitespace tokens — simple (imla’i) spelling
words where the two scripts differ on joins — the whole gap, located
Classical positions also differ on attached particles, the definite article and prefixed conjunctions — recorded in the tradition as one word by some, two by others. The transmitted classical totals (77,437–77,439) sit beside the measured ones with their own methods. The unit must always be declared.
