Can't tell. The oscillation measurement is only sensitive to the differences between the squares of the masses of the neutrino flavors.

The square root of the unladen airspeed of a swallow (expressed in furlongs/fortnight).

Hmmph. How would you feel if I went around discussing the mass of a jennyp?

Or, for that matter, the flavor of a jennyp?
