- (phonetics)released, e.g.⟨k˚⟩ as opposed to unreleased[k̚].
- (phonetics)aspirated, e.g.⟨k˚⟩ for IPA[kʰ] or[k˳].
- (phonetics)labialization, e.g.⟨k˚⟩ (or more properly⟨kᵒ⟩) for IPA[kʷ].
Meanings [1] and [2] are closely related, as consonants may be released with a puff of aspiration. InextIPA,[k˳a] indicates that voicelessness continues beyond the[k]; this is often equivalent to an aspirated[kʰ].
