From Lexicon Leponticum
Jump to navigationJump to search
Below, you can find a list of all characters (letters, punctuation marks and numerical symbols) which are used in inscriptions with relevance for the study of Cisalpine Celtic.
See Property:character and Property:character_variant for commentary and North Italic Script for further information.
At the moment, character variants belonging to all represented scripts and alphabets are collected indiscriminately under their respective archigraphemes, e.g., Lepontic, Etruscan and Latin forms of alpha are all included sub A. A classification of character variants by script and alphabet which allows the creation of tables with character variants belonging to particular writing systems will follow in due time.
