ʖ

Symbol
ʖ
- (pre-1989 IPA) lateral click; superseded by ⟨ǁ⟩.
- (superscript ⟨⟩, IPA) [ʖ]-coloring such as the lateral release of a click; or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ʖ]-release.
Usage notes
In IPA, ⟨ʖ⟩ 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 | k͜ʖ | q͜ʖ |
| Voiced | ɡ͜ʖ | ɢ͜ʖ |
| Nasal | ŋ͜ʖ | ɴ͜ʖ |
The tie bar may be omitted, and the accompanying letter may be superscripted.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨ʖ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
Beach used simple ⟨ʖ⟩ for the Khoekhoe voiceless oral click [k͜ʖ] and ⟨𝼎⟩ for the voiced nasal click [ŋ͜ʖ].
