Statistical overview

By the end of the project, the corpus contained 594 with 600 expected evolutions. 145 (i.e. 24.41%) of the evolutions were hypothetical (which means that the etymon is not documented). 449 forms (i.e. 75.59%) evolutions are documented.
From all those evolutions, 29 (i.e. 4.88%) are incomplete, which means that either the modern or the latin form is missing.

Within the complete evolutions, we have the following percentages (with respect to the for basic types of evolutions):

TypeNumberPercentage
ideal15726%
sufficient24841%
partial51%
insufficient18432%


As a general result, we can thus say that roughly 2/3 of the evolutions are correctly calculated.
