**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Personal names in the Ugarit tablets read as names known from Ugaritic or Akkadian records.
- Cypriot and Ugarit texts differ in word structure but not in sign values.

## What would rule it out

- The proposed Ugarit names fail when values are fixed from the Cypriot texts alone.

## Evidence 1 for · none against
