Raetic Mu appears consistently with three rather than four bars ({{c||addM1}}, as prevalent in Etruscan, Venetic and Lepontic). This characteristic, unifying the Sanzeno and Magrè alphabets, connects the Raetic script with the Venetic alphabet of Vicenza (see [[index::Script]]), though three-barred Mu also appears in the Lugano corpus (see {{bib|Lexicon Leponticum}}: [http://www.univie.ac.at/lexlep/wiki/M M]). Mu is never attested in inverted form, but the inverted variant is retained as a possibility to parallel (rare) inverted [[index::N|Nu]]. | |||

Raetic Mu appears consistently with three rather than four bars (
, as prevalent in Etruscan, Venetic and Lepontic). This characteristic, unifying the Sanzeno and Magrè alphabets, connects the Raetic script with the Venetic alphabet of Vicenza (see Script), though three-barred Mu also appears in the Lugano corpus (see Lexicon Leponticum: M). Mu is never attested in inverted form, but the inverted variant is retained as a possibility to parallel (rare) inverted Nu.
