Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Linear A words read with Linear B values will match securely glossed Hattic words in form and meaning above chance.
- Shared morphology (for example prefixes) will appear in the Linear A libation formula.
What would rule it out
- A controlled comparison of secure Hattic words with the Linear A lexicon finds no excess of matches over unrelated controls.
- The Linear A sign values on which the Minoan words depend are shown not to apply.
