## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The variable elements are names of dedicators; the fixed elements are divine names and a verb.

## What would rule it out

- The variable elements show systematic alternations of ending on the same stem.

## Evidence 1 for · none against
