Clairvoyant Goblins Saw frequency

Statistical analysis of frequency in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

The goblin method for understanding frequency involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to frequency among the goblin community.
