Python's collections.Counter was used to count the frequency of the MTL monosyllables taken from the first section of the dictionary:
** 2,936 monosyllable rows used only 1,813 unique MTL monosyllables
* as expected, many MTL match more than one row (1,813 unique MTL for 2,936 rows). This affects 39% of MTL and 62% of rows.
** most (62%) rows "collide with" (sound the same as) up to 6 other rows
* however, 61% of MTL and 38% of rows uniquely match one-to-one
** 30% collide with only one other row
* 24% MTL match 2 rows (30% rows)
** 32% collide with 3 to 6 other rows
* 10% MTL match 3 rows (18% rows)
** the most collisions (<1%) occur for: ''{{x|lie}}'', ''{{x|ky}}'', ''{{x|køf}}''
* 5% MTL match 4 to 6 rows (14% rows)
** 38% don't collide at all
* the most matched MTL are ''{{x|lie}}'', ''{{x|ky}}'', ''{{x|køf}}'', which have 7 matches each, affecting <1% MTL and rows
