The publication of a Rhaetic inscription on a miniaturized bronze shield from Fliess (A) allows detecting a new grammatical feature of this language, which is related to the so-called Tyrsenic linguistic family, including Etruscan, Lemnian and Rhaetic. The new grammatical form, the plural -va suffix, perfectly matches with the Etruscan situation, where two different suffixes are known for marking the plural in common nouns. The paper presents another small step in the reconstruction of the linguistic features of Rhaetic, which can be implemented thanks to the use of the comparative approach.
