  2. (superscript ⟨𐞑⟩, IPA) [ɤ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting, epenthetic or echo [ɤ].

Usage notes

[edit]

Sometimes mistaken for or replaced with the velar consonant letter Latin gamma (ɣ), which unlike ɤ drops below the baseline. The old 'baby gamma' form was changed to the modern 'ram's horn' form to help avoid such confusion.
