List of symbols

An alphabetic series can be defined from the inscribed records, but it is necessary to consider the forms with attention to historical changes and variation due to writing materials.

A possible alphabetic series of the 1^st writing phase is proposed with the limitations imposed by the few inscriptions assigned to this phase. For the 2^nd writing phase the writing varieties of the most important paleo-Venetic settlements, Este and Padua, are shown.
