Abstract: Every word in a free group $F$ induces a probability measure on every finite group in a natural manner. It is an open problem whether two words that induce the same measure on every finite group, necessarily belong to the same orbit of $mathrmAutF$. A special case of this problem, when one of the words is the primitive word $x$, was settled positively by the third author and Parzanchevski [arXiv:1202.3269]. Here we extend this result to the case where one of the words is $x^d$ or $left[x,yight{]}^d$ for an arbitrary $dinmathbbZ$.
