Diacritical mark

[edit]

◌̑

  1. (NAPA) A diacritic added to a letter with a descender to indicate advanced articulation, e.g. ⟨g̑⟩ for ⟨ɡ̯⟩ (IPA [ɟ]), ⟨γ̑⟩ (IPA [ʝ]).
  2. (IPA, rare) A diacritic added to a vowel letter with a descender (i.e. ⟨y⟩) to show that it is nonsyllabic.
    Synonym: ◌̯
  3. (UPA) a central vowel.

Usage notes

[edit]

(UPA): With normal vowels, the breve appears below the letter, e.g. ⟨i̮ e̮ ɛ̮ a̮⟩ and rounded ⟨u̮ o̮ ɔ̮ ɑ̮⟩. However, when the vowel letter is rotated to indicate a reduced vowel, the breve is rotated as well: ⟨ᴉ̑ ə̑ ᴈ̑ ɐ̑ ɒ̑⟩.[1]
