## What it's used for here

GEAS Begleitpapiere zum Entzifferungstool 2024/1 (Assessing Decipherment Attempts, Series 1), Bern; not peer-reviewed. Tests the Best/Woudhuizen values against a partial bilingual (a cylinder seal naming Akhenaten's daughters) and a phonetisation-degree statistic, and finds the proposal unfalsifiable and its translations incorrect; estimates about 100 graphemes.
