Where it stands

Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • New Hurrian vocabulary from the Boğazköy bilinguals should confirm the key words for offering and for Nikkal.
  • A line-by-line gloss by independent Hurrian specialists should converge on the offering reading.

What would rule it out

  • A Hurrian specialist's reading, accounting for every collated sign, that the text is not a hymn to Nikkal or does not concern offerings.
