Symbol

ʇ

1. (pre-1989 IPA) dental click; superseded by ⟨ǀ⟩.
2. (superscript ⟨𐞻⟩, IPA) [ʇ]-coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ʇ]-release.

Usage notes

In IPA, ⟨ʇ⟩ 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	k͜ʇ	q͜ʇ
Voiced	ɡ͜ʇ	ɢ͜ʇ
Nasal	ŋ͜ʇ	ɴ͜ʇ

The tie bar may be omitted, and the accompanying letter may be superscripted.

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

Beach used simple ⟨ʇ⟩ for the Khoekhoe voiceless oral click [k͜ʇ] and ⟨𝼍⟩ for the voiced nasal click [ŋ͜ʇ].
