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:

	Velar	Uvular
Voiceless	k͜ʘ	q͜ʘ
Voiced	ɡ͜ʘ	ɢ͜ʘ
Nasal	ŋ͜ʘ	ɴ͜ʘ

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).
