The standard form of Chi is {{c||Χ}}, used in both Magrè and Sanzeno context. The variant with long bars occurs only sporadically, and almost exclusively in Sanzeno context. Note that in doubtful or para-script contexts, {{c||Χ3}}/{{c||Χ4}} is indistinguishable from {{c||A22}}/{{c||A23}}. Inverted forms are rare.
The standard form of Chi is {{c||Χ}}, used in both Magrè and Sanzeno context, as prevalent in Etruscan and Northern Italy. The variant with long bars occurs only sporadically, and mainly in Sanzeno context – exclusively, if the problematic [[index::SR-12]] is discounted. Maybe influence from the West? (The form exists, but is extremely rare in Venetic.) Inverted {{c||Χ4}} is not attested in the Raetic alphabets, but does occur sporadically in Lepontic and Venetic; it is included to parallel (rare) {{c||Χ2}}. Note that in doubtful or para-script contexts, {{c||Χ3}}/{{c||Χ4}} is indistinguishable from Alpha {{c||A15}}/{{c||addA7}}.

The standard form of Chi is Χ s, used in both Magrè and Sanzeno context, as prevalent in Etruscan and Northern Italy. The variant with long bars occurs only sporadically, and mainly in Sanzeno context – exclusively, if the problematic SR-12 is discounted. Maybe influence from the West? (The form exists, but is extremely rare in Venetic.) Inverted Χ4 s is not attested in the Raetic alphabets, but does occur sporadically in Lepontic and Venetic; it is included to parallel (rare) Χ2 s. Note that in doubtful or para-script contexts, Χ3 s/Χ4 s is indistinguishable from Alpha A15 s/addA7 s.
