Kassite cannot be classified from what survives: it is an unclassified language, probably an isolate, until a text is found.
Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Each proposed affiliation, tested on the vocabulary with a null model, will fail.
- New Kassite words will continue to come only from Akkadian loanwords and names.
What would rule it out
- A Kassite text or a longer bilingual vocabulary is found and allows a classification.
