"increase...than"

[Mark Mandel]

Could easily be just an editing blooper, but it was so odd it grabbed me.
And, not incidentally, kudos to Mohamed and all the people who contributed
to this great volume!

Created in cooperation with Georgetown University Press and the Linguistic
Data Consortium (LDC) of the University of Pennsylvania, this new

Iraqi, and includes more than a thirty percent increase in terms for
contemporary speech than found in the original dictionaries.
