Usage notes[edit]
• The Unicode-assigned name alveolar is obsolete. The true alveolar click is IPA ⟨ǃ⟩ .
Symbol[edit]
ǂ
- (IPA) the forward release of a palatal click.
- the tenuis velar or sometimes uvular palatal click, [kǂ] or [qǂ]
- (superscript ⟨𐞸⟩, IPA) [ǂ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ǂ]-release.
Usage notes[edit]
Technically, ⟨ǂ⟩ is only the forward clicked release, not the entire consonant. A full transcription of a click consonant requires a second letter to specify whether the rear closure is velar or uvular, and whether the click is voiced or nasal:
Velar Uvular Voiceless k͜ǂ q͜ǂ Voiced ɡ͜ǂ ɢ͜ǂ Nasal ŋ͜ǂ ɴ͜ǂ
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏǂ ᶢǂ ᵑǂ 𐞥ǂ 𐞒ǂ ᶰǂ⟩.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨ǂ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
