Symbol

𐞥

1. (IPA) [q]-onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion), [q]-release, [q]-coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [q].
2. (IPA, on a click consonant) A voiceless uvular click; specifically:

   velar dental click ⟨𐞥ǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʇ⟩),

   velar alveolar click ⟨𐞥ǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʗ⟩),

   velar palatal click ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥𝼋⟩),

   velar lateral click ⟨𐞥ǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʖ⟩),

   velar bilabial click ⟨𐞥ʘ⟩,

   velar retroflex click ⟨𐞥𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨𐞥‼⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ψ⟩).

   Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂ𐞥⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩, or ⟨ǂ𐞥ʰ⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂʰ⟩ if aspirated, – may imply an audible uvular release.

   See also ⟨ᵏ⟩, ⟨𐞒⟩, ⟨ᶰ⟩.

3. (IPA, on a vowel) uvularized (or sometimes pharyngealized). A common convention in Khoisanist linguistics.
