[edit]Etymology
[edit]The letter y rotated 180°.
Pronunciation
[edit]IPA: (file)
Symbol
[edit]ʎ
- (IPA) a palatal lateral approximant.
- May stand in for palatalized [lʲ].
- (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
[edit]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.
