It can be observed that Φ2 s, typical for Venetic, is preferred on the Sanzeno bronzes, while only Φ s occurs in Magrè, but the variants are not distributed complementarily between the Raetic alphabets. The same goes for angular vs. rounded forms.

For assumed Phi in the inscriptions VR-3 (as read by Marinetti 1987) and HU-7 (as read by Schürr 2003), see T.
