The 114 surahs at a glance

Each dot is a surah: length (word tokens, log scale) against lexical variety (distinct roots ÷ tokens), colored by chronological period. Hover a dot for the surah; click to read it. Notice for yourself how the periods separate — and where the exceptions sit.

ℹ How this is computed

Token and distinct-root counts from the bundled Leeds v0.4 morphology (see the method note above); period from the Cairo 1924 convention. Longer texts repeat vocabulary, so diversity falls with length for purely statistical reasons — the pattern is descriptive, not a claim about style or meaning.
