Very strange results, indeed. I suspected that it might
have had something to do with the orthography so I
exchanged y for j and c for k. I also removed the dots
over the e's. I also tried a version with double vowels
instead of acute accents. These are the results (using
the exact same sample texts):

GENESIS 2

No dots over e; exchanged y for j and c for k.

Breton           0.1110
Estonian         0.0783
SerboCroatian    0.0716
Welsh            0.0572

No e-dots; used j and k ; double vowels instead of accents:

Breton           0.1072
Estonian         0.0855
SerboCroatian    0.0794
Finnish          0.0645

Comments: Still very high for Breton, but Estonian as second
alternative. More similar to Tolkien's intentions, imho.

NAMÁRIË

No dots over e; exchanged y for j and c for k.

SchwytzZurich    0.0329
SchwytzBern      0.0291
Polish           0.0279
German           0.0279

No e-dots; used j and k ; double vowels instead of accents:

SchwytzZurich    0.0366
Polish           0.0325
German           0.0297
Swahili          0.0288

Comments: Now this is just weird. Or Helge did something terribly
wrong writing the text. ;) None of the figures are that high either
so the program seems to have been having problems. This might be
due to the short sample text. Genesis 2 is much longer.
