Where's Sneezy?

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

(T+T+, p+p+)

(p+p+)

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

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

(p+p+, g+g+)  and  (p+p+, g+g+, T+T+)

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

keeping in mind that given equal number of g+g+ particles, the lower position of p+p+ in the set increases mass, and assuming that the addition of a T+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.
