Asyndeton bimembre is common in Plautus but not overwhelmingly so. There is little point in trying to produce definitive figures, because there are so many variations on the basic (single-word) type, such as word + short phrase, word + long phrase, short phrase + word etc., not to mention unitary pairs within longer asyndetic sequences, which may be treated either as asyndeta bimembria or simply as components of long asyndeta.
