Symbol

[edit]

ǀ

  1. (IPA) the forward release of a dental click.
  2. the tenuis velar or sometimes uvular dental click, [k͜ǀ] or [q͜ǀ]
  3. (superscript ⟨𐞶⟩, IPA) [ǀ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ǀ]-release.

Usage notes

[edit]

Technically, ⟨ǀ⟩ is only the forward clicked release, not the entire consonant. It is adequate for click sounds without a rear release, such as the tsk! tsk! tutting of disapproval in English. 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 k͜ǀ q͜ǀ
Voiced ɡ͜ǀ ɢ͜ǀ
Nasal ŋ͜ǀ ɴ͜ǀ

The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏǀ ᶢǀ ᵑǀ 𐞥ǀ 𐞒ǀ ᶰǀ⟩.

If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨ǀ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
