I don’t think you truly grasp what p-values mean. You seem to be mistaking statistical significance for scientific significance. It looks as though you’re trying to apply p-values to your hypothesis about Croatian place names. That’s not what p-values are intended to test.

I don't understand what you mean. By p-value, I mean the probability of that k-r pattern in Croatian river names occurring by chance. By measuring collision entropy of the Croatian language and using the Monte Carlo birthday calculations, I have shown that the probability of that pattern occurring by chance is somewhere between 1/300 and 1/17.
