𐞥

  1. (IPA) [q]-onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion), [q]-release, [q]-coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [q].
  2. (IPA, on a click consonant) A voiceless uvular click; specifically:
    velar dental click ⟨𐞥ǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʇ⟩),
    velar alveolar click ⟨𐞥ǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʗ⟩),
    velar palatal click ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥𝼋⟩),
    velar lateral click ⟨𐞥ǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʖ⟩),
    velar bilabial click ⟨𐞥ʘ⟩,
    velar retroflex click ⟨𐞥𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨𐞥‼⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ψ⟩).
    Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂ𐞥⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩, or ⟨ǂ𐞥ʰ⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂʰ⟩ if aspirated, – may imply an audible uvular release.
    See also ⟨ᵏ⟩, ⟨𐞒⟩, ⟨ᶰ⟩.
  3. (IPA, on a vowel) uvularized (or sometimes pharyngealized). A common convention in Khoisanist linguistics.
    See also ⟨ˤ⟩, ⟨ʶ⟩.
