Lambda is one of the letters (together with [[index::P|Pi]] and [[index::U|Upsilon]]) which serve as a basis for distinguishing the Magrè and Sanzeno alphabets (see [[index::Property:alphabet]] and [[index::Script]]): The variant {{c||L}} with the bar on top, sometimes termed "Venetoid" in the TIR, is used to the Magrè alphabet, while {{c||L2}} with the bar on the bottom, typical for the Etruscan and Lugano alphabets, is used in the Sanzeno alphabet. The variants {{c||L3}} and {{c||L4}} only occur in two, possibly three rock inscriptions, indicating a connection with equivalent forms from the Venetic subcorpus of Cadore.

Lambda is one of the letters (together with Pi and Upsilon) which serve as a basis for distinguishing the Magrè and Sanzeno alphabets (see Property:alphabet and Script): The variant L s with the bar on top, sometimes termed "Venetoid" in the TIR, is used to the Magrè alphabet, while L2 s with the bar on the bottom, typical for the Etruscan and Lugano alphabets, is used in the Sanzeno alphabet. The variants L3 s and L4 s only occur in a certain type of rock inscription (see Raetic epigraphy), indicating a connection with similar (unrounded) forms from the Venetic subcorpus of Cadore.
