Commentary
Lambda is one of the letters (together with Pi and Upsilon) which serve as a basis for distinguishing the Magrè and Sanzeno alphabets (see Script): The variant 
with the bar on top, sometimes termed "Venetoid" in the TIR, is attributed to the Magrè alphabet, while 
with the bar on the bottom, typical for the Etruscan and Lugano alphabets, is used in the Sanzeno alphabet. On the problem of identifying ← / 
→ as Lambda or Pi, see P. The variants 
and 
only occur in two, possibly three rock inscriptions; their connection with equivalent forms from the Venetic subcorpus of Cadore is unclear.
