    Annotation According to the classical Zipfs law, the word frequency is a power function of the word rank with an exponent −1. The objective of this work is to find multiplicative constant in a Markov model of word generation. Previously, the case of independent letters was mathematically strictly investigated in [Bochkarev V V and Lerner E Yu 2017 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Article ID 914374]. Unfortunately, the methods used in this paper cannot be generalized in case of Markov chains. Combinatorial technique allowed taking into account all the words with probability of more than $e^{-300}$ in case of 2 by 2 of transition probability matrix. It was experimentally proved that the required constant in the limit is equal to the value reciprocal to conditional entropy of matrix row with weights presenting the elements of presenting the elements of the vector $\pi$ of the stationary distribution of the Markov chain.
