Commentary
is the standard form of San in Raetic, Ś5 s occurs only once in the epigraphically peculiar PU-1. 
is never securely attested as a letter, but only as part of a factory mark in Bostel. Its attestation in a language-encoding inscription is highly dubious. No variant of San does so far occur inverted.
San is generally assumed to write the marked sibilant ś ([ʃ] vel sim.), as it does in the Venetic writing tradition (see Script). The inscriptions from San Giorgio di Valpolicella may represent an exception: San occurs three times, Sigma never; San might be argued to write s in VR-14. See also Z for evidence of the influence of Etruscan writing at San Giorgio di Valpolicella.
