## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its 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.
