Usage notes
In IPA, ⟨ʗ⟩ is technically 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 k͜ʗ q͜ʗ Voiced ɡ͜ʗ ɢ͜ʗ Nasal ŋ͜ʗ ɴ͜ʗ
The tie bar may be omitted, and the accompanying letter may be superscripted.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨ʗ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
Beach used simple ⟨ʗ⟩ for the Khoekhoe voiceless oral click [k͜ʗ] and ⟨𝼏⟩ for the voiced nasal click [ŋ͜ʗ].
