We've put together an online corpus of Linear Elamite: https://center-for-decipherment.ch/tool/#elam https://center-for-decipherment.ch/tool/#elam
The Linear Elamite script has already seen claims of decipherment. But most of it was just circular conjectures. Due to the small corpus, progress is slow and claims rest on little evidence. Desset did contribute a lot to what little is accepted today. Still evaluating the new publication of Desset et al. If it turns out to be solid, we'll include the new sound values they propose.

Desset is not the main contributor, but one among equals. You might want to avoid making the same mistake the Smithsonian journalist did.
- lolc 4y agoDesset has contributed a lot in the past. That's where I used the singular.
