Often called the 'open-tailed g'. Both open-tail ⟨ɡ⟩ and double-loop ⟨g⟩ are acceptable in IPA transcription, but the open-tailed ɡ is traditional. Similarly, the superscript letter may be ⟨ᵍ⟩ but is more commonly ⟨ᶢ⟩.
ɡ
- (IPA) a voiced velar plosive.
- (superscript ⟨ᶢ⟩, IPA) [ɡ]-onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion), [ɡ]-release, [ɡ]-coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ɡ].
- (on a click consonant) A voiced velar as opposed to voiced uvular click; specifically:
- velar dental click ⟨ᶢǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʇ⟩),
- velar alveolar click ⟨ᶢǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʗ⟩),
- velar palatal click ⟨ᶢǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢ𝼋⟩),
- velar lateral click ⟨ᶢǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢʖ⟩),
- velar bilabial click ⟨ᶢʘ⟩,
- velar retroflex click ⟨ᶢ𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨ᶢ‼⟩ (old-style ⟨ᶢψ⟩).
- Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂᶢ⟩ – may imply an audible velar release.
- See also ⟨𐞒⟩, ⟨ᵏ⟩, ⟨ᵑ⟩.
