As far i could understand your code, this reads the whole text instead of random lines
When I asked you why they had to be random, you said they didn't, that's just the only way you knew how to read lines. So I didn't use random lines.

If you've changed your mind, you can get 10,000 random non-duplicate lines with
Code:
sort -R <inputfile | head -n 10000 | awk -v FS='>' '{
        # Get stuff after second >, and convert it all to uppercase
        $0=toupper($3);
        # Substitute every non-alpha char with space
        gsub(/[^A-Z]/, " ");
        # Split on spaces, into array A
        split($0, A, " ");
        # count words
        for(key in A)   count[A[key]]++;
}
END {
        # print words
        for(key in count)
                printf("%s\t%d\n", key, count[key]);
}' < filename
