Warning: The computation of the numbers in the column labeled "Permutation rank" is extremely complicated. For reasons of efficiency we had to rewrite the code for computing c(w,w'), and the results reported in this column may be very slightly different than if we had used the original WRR program. For the same reason, results reported in this column may be slightly inconsistent with results reported elsewhere in this paper, where the original WRR program was used.
Comment: The Hebrew letter x is rare in WGP, and hence the prefix xaxa appears there as an ELS infrequently. In fact, it appears only in conjunction with a single nation, ct. Thus its appearance at the top of the table below is of limited interest.
