Here, a and b are syllables and aabbaabba and abababab indicate syllable orders. The left column shows the leading syllables, and those in the top row are following syllables. The numerator in each cell is the number of transitions from one syllable to another, and the denominator is the total number of transitions from each leading syllable. The sum of probability for each row is 1.
