Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Merged sign pairs never contrast within the same sign group in new finds.
- The frequency distribution of the merged list resembles that of Linear A.
What would rule it out
- Two signs proposed as allographs appear in the same group in a way that requires them to differ.
- A large number of seal motifs is shown to be script, pushing the total well above 130.
