Table 4.

Mean shortest path length for each lexicon.

Path Lengths	WLO	CVP	WIC	HML2to5	HML
MSPL	7.02	5.20	5.58	5.66	6.08
E-R Expected^a	5.68	4.14	4.38	3.87	3.98
Lattice Expected^b	235	173	206	321	357

Note. MSPL = mean shortest path length.

Expected MSPL for an Erdos-Rényi graph with the same number of nodes as in the largest island of the indicated lexicon.
