Nu in Raetic has the form usual in the alphabets of Italy; there are no graphic variants. The attestation of inverted Nu, registered only thrice, is not quite certain – it seems fairly clear in [[index::VN-13]], but in [[index::MA-17]] certainly, in [[index::FI-1]] probably it is due to the object being turned during the application of the inscription, meaning that Nu was inscribed upright.

Nu in Raetic has the form usual in the alphabets of Italy; there are no graphic variants. The attestation of inverted Nu, registered only thrice, is not quite certain – it seems fairly clear in VN-13, but in MA-17 certainly, in FI-1 probably it is due to the object being turned during the application of the inscription, meaning that Nu was inscribed upright. See also BZ-2.
