Al-Jallad's values for Script 1a, derived from three halḥam abecedaries, are correct.
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: three pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Texts not used to build the values read as Semitic words and names with the values fixed.
- Any further abecedary found follows the same order and values.
- Recurring sequences (prayer formulae, divine names) read consistently across sites.
What would rule it out
- Independent epigraphers applying the values to unused texts get no consistent words, or a new abecedary contradicts the order.

The questions it answers
Most likelyThe letter order and most values are right, but readings of texts are too uncertain to call the corpus read
