## Where it stands

**Disputed** None pieces of evidence for, three against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Most glyph sequences on the Staff fall into triads with glyph 76 on the first element.
- The same structure recurs on other tablets.

## What would rule it out

- Only a minority of sequences fit the triad structure, or the key glyphs are too frequent for the reading to be testable.

## Evidence none for · 3 against

[Only about 63 sequences on the Staff fit the triad structure even generously.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/rongorongo/evidence/EVD0D4CCMXR5D8H/only-about-63-sequences-on-the-staff-fit-the-triad-structure)
