Breakdown
You can optionally choose a breakdown column. The idea is to break down the 6,513 cases of *LY according to their frequency or some other column.
If your breakdown column is numerical, results will be split into various bands. If you choose 3 bands you are splitting the frequencies in three with the lowest frequencies in band 1, middle frequencies in band 2, and highest frequencies in band 3.
Results will now look like this:
These *LY forms are slightly more frequent in the highest frequency words.
