Where it stands

Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

No proposed reading survives application to the whole corpus with fixed values.
Internal analysis establishes structure (word boundaries, formula variants, logogram use) without yielding a language match.

What would rule it out

A bilingual or a long text is found and read.
A reading with fixed values makes the clay accounts and the seal names consistent and predicts a newly excavated text.

Evidence 1 for · none against

The corpus is about 1,500 signs in short texts, no sound value is secure and no bilingual exists.
