the tenuis velar or sometimes uvular retroflex click, [k͜𝼊 ] or [q͜𝼊 ]
(superscript ⟨𐞹⟩,IPA)[𝼊 ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [𝼊 ]-release.
Usage notes
Technically, ⟨𝼊 ⟩ is 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
k͜𝼊
q͜𝼊
Voiced
ɡ͜𝼊
ɢ͜𝼊
Nasal
ŋ͜𝼊
ɴ͜𝼊
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏ𝼊 ᶢ𝼊 ᵑ𝼊 𐞥𝼊 𐞒𝼊 ᶰ𝼊 ⟩.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨𝼊͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
