Examine internal difference pattern of the second cluster
Analyze Pattern in KM-PJ
• K(11) +2 M(13) • Transition M(13) +3 P(16) • Second cluster: P(16) −6 J(10)
Analyze Pattern in OQ-TN and IK-NH
• OQ-TN: O(15) +2 Q(17) +3 T(20) −6 N(14) • IK-NH: I(9) +2 K(11) +3 N(14) −6 H(8)
Analyze GI-LE
• G(7) +2 I(9) +3 L(12) • But L(12) −7 E(5), instead of −6!
