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 (
, 
) are easily mistakable for Rho, the only difference being the lower bar / curve touching or not touching the hasta in the bottom. No pattern can be seen in the use of the angular vs. the rounded form.
