Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: three pieces of evidence for, two against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The values give the same readings of royal and divine names on independent texts, including the bilinguals with Akkadian.
- Texts not used to build the values (new finds, or texts held back) read as sensible Elamite with the values fixed in advance.
- Independent groups working from their own corpus reach the same values.
What would rule it out
- An excavated text or a new bilingual reads as nonsense under the 2022 values, or the Akkadian parallel contradicts the Elamite reading.
