To first approximation, this works for me (bash command):

tr -c "[a-zA-Z-]" "\n" < ulysses.txt |sort|uniq -c|sort -n

gosh> (lrange 1 5)

(1 2 3 4)

lrange start :optional end step

Creates a lazy sequence of numbers starting from start,
increasing by step (default 1), to the maximum value that
doesn’t exceed end.

5 doesn't exceed 5, so (according to this spec.) 5 should be printed.

The correct English should be...

to the maximum value that is less than [end].

up to (and not including) the maximum value [end].
