Raetic Rho always appears with bars or curve covering the full length of the hasta. On Magrè-type {{c||P}} vel sim. being a form of Pi see {{bib|Mancini 1991}}: 87 and {{bib|Schumacher 1999}}: 342 f. (note 18). Note that variants of Magrè-Pi with full-length bars/curve ({{c||P3}}, {{c||P4}}) are easily mistakable for Rho, the only difference being the lower bar / curve touching or not touching the hasta in the bottom. Just as in Venetic, no pattern can be seen in the use of the angular vs. the rounded form, while the latter is practically exclusive in the Lugano alphabet. | |||

Raetic Rho always appears with bars or curve covering the full length of the hasta. On Magrè-type 
vel sim. being a form of Pi see Mancini 1991: 87 and Schumacher 1999: 342 f. (note 18). Note that variants of Magrè-Pi with full-length bars/curve (
