@kwiSøren @mal3aby i think it counts because a thing a real user might plausibly do is transcribe an antiquated Hindi text onto a modern computer, and plausibly that Hindi text might contain many instances of the word तु्म्ह.

Crossing the 20:1 boundary would be actually very significant because it would mean we could spam the word space-separated many times and pass the 3000 boundary! Not a *good* text but not gibberish & closer than we've got yet. However, my own tool puts तु्म्ह at only 19 bytes…?

@mcc @mal3aby Oops, turns out my terminal is struggling with rendering these and cut the word off when I copy-pasted it. The word from the word list is actually "तु्म्हीं", which isn't listed in any online Hindi dictionary I can find.
