In my experience, newly-published editions generally don't have this
feature.  The first few times i encountered a book that does that i had
no idea what the word hanging at the lower-left corner of the page was
for.  Eventually i realized that it was always the first word of the next
page.  I think i first saw it in volumes of the Talmud but i'm not sure.

ObConlang:
Speaking of repetition, i decided that Rokbeigalmki has English-style
reduplication for emphasis.  However, unlike English, Rokbeigalmki only
doubles the (extended if necessary) root, attaching prefixes to the first
copy and suffixes to the second.
i.e.:
English "was it raining, or was it raining raining?"
Rokbeigalmki "ha'uzu-jaarihd, au uzu-jaarihd jaarihd?"
or
"beijambal-a suddatelos datelos-a" = "the scary scary bear"
as opposed to "beijambal-a suddatelos-a", 'the scary bear'
