Symbol

ʎ

  1. (IPA) a palatal lateral approximant.
    May stand in for palatalized [lʲ].
  2. (superscript 𐞠, IPA) [ʎ]-release of a plosive (e.g. [ɟ𐞠], sometimes implying an affricate [ɟ͜ʎ̝]); [ʎ]-coloring; or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ʎ].

Usage notes

The implication that the superscript indicates an affricate is especially strong when this is written 𐞠̥ with a voiceless base letter, as the proper lateral-fricative letters 𝼆 and 𐞡 were only made official in 2015; or when written 𐞠̝ with a voiced base letter.
