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 a certain type of rock inscription (see [[index::Raetic epigraphy]]), indicating a connection with similar (unrounded) forms from the Venetic subcorpus of Cadore. | |||

with the bar on top, sometimes termed "Venetoid" in the TIR, is used to the Magrè alphabet, while 
with the bar on the bottom, typical for the Etruscan and Lugano alphabets, is used in the Sanzeno alphabet. The variants 
and 
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.
