Symbol

ʘ

  1. (IPA) the forward release of a bilabial click.
  2. the tenuis velar or sometimes uvular bilabial click, [k͜ʘ] or [q͜ʘ]
  3. (superscript 𐞵, IPA) [ʘ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ʘ]-release.

Usage notes

Technically, ʘ is 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:

VelarUvular
Voiceless k͜ʘq͜ʘ
Voiced ɡ͜ʘɢ͜ʘ
Nasal ŋ͜ʘɴ͜ʘ

The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ᵏʘ ᶢʘ ᵑʘ 𐞥ʘ 𐞒ʘ ᶰʘ.

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