Where's Sneezy?

And if we order the Hydrogen nuclei written down so far by their masses,

(T+T+, p+)

(p+)

(g+, T+, p+)

(T+, p+, g+)  and  (T+, p+, g+, T+)

(p+, g+)  and  (p+, g+, T+)

(g+, T+, p+, g+)  and  (g+, T+, p+, g+, T+)

keeping in mind that given equal number of g+ particles, the lower position of p+ in the set increases mass, and assuming that the addition of a T+ particle does not change mass.

Here, we are one short of the seven discovered Hydrogen isotopes.  Where's the last?

Note: Cyclic permutation, the particles are added in specific order.  No swapping of position nor adding other types of particle please.
