Often called the 'open-tailed g'. Both open-tail ⟨ɡ⟩ and double-loop ⟨g ⟩ are acceptable in IPA transcription, but the open-tailed ɡ is traditional. Similarly, the superscript letter may be ⟨ᵍ ⟩ but is more commonly ⟨ᶢ⟩ .
ɡ
( IPA ) a voiced velar plosive .
( superscript ⟨ᶢ⟩ ) [ɡ] -onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion ), [ɡ] -release , [ɡ] -coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ɡ] .
( superscript, on a click consonant ) A voiced velar as opposed to voiced uvular click; specifically:
velar dental click ⟨ᶢǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʇ⟩ ),
velar alveolar click ⟨ᶢǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʗ⟩ ),
velar palatal click ⟨ᶢǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢ𝼋⟩ ),
velar lateral click ⟨ᶢǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʖ⟩ ),
velar bilabial click ⟨ᶢʘ⟩ ,
velar retroflex click ⟨ᶢ𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨ᶢ‼⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢψ⟩ ).
Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂᶢ⟩ – may imply an audible velar release.
