| The original Lepsius lower-case dental click letter |
ǀ
- (IPA) the forward release of adental click.
- thetenuis velar or sometimes uvular dental click,[k͜ǀ] or[q͜ǀ]
- (superscript⟨𐞶⟩, IPA)[ǀ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic[ǀ]-release.
Technically,⟨ǀ⟩ is only the forward clicked release, not the entire consonant. It is adequate for click sounds without a rear release, such as thetsk! tsk! tutting of disapproval in English. 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 | k͜ǀ | q͜ǀ |
|---|
| Voiced | ɡ͜ǀ | ɢ͜ǀ |
|---|
| Nasal | ŋ͜ǀ | ɴ͜ǀ |
|---|
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted:⟨ᵏǀ ᶢǀ ᵑǀ 𐞥ǀ 𐞒ǀ ᶰǀ⟩.
If the order is reversed, e.g.⟨ǀ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
