how could I get a statistics of the length of japanese verbs?


How can I make statistics of how many syllables a Japanese verb has? I want to
statistic 五段 and 一段 verbs, respectively and exclude all the する verbs.




I am not aware of any publicly available statistics already compiled. There
might well be such datasets, I just don't know of any.

There are various publicly available Japanese dictionaries, either bilingual
like [Eijirō](https://eow.alc.co.jp/) and
[WWWJDIC](http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic) (one of the datastores
also used by [Jisho.org](https://jisho.org/)), or monolingual like those made
available via [Weblio](https://www.weblio.jp/) or
[Kotobank](https://kotobank.jp/). One option would be to find a way to access
those public datastores, identify verbs, filter by conjugation type, and count
the morae (kana).

I think WWWJDIC might be the easiest to access this way, as I think I remember
reading something about that in the [#Dictionary
section](http://nihongo.monash.edu/wwwjdicinf.html#dicfil_tag) of their User
Guide.
