Translingual
editEtymology
editA Latin adaptation of the Ancient Greek and Modern Greek letter γ (“gamma”). In Greek, γ in most contexts represents a voiced velar fricative, and has done so since Koine Greek, which is why it was chosen as the IPA letter to represent that sound (in Ancient times, in Attic Greek, γ represented [ɡ], like the English g).
Pronunciation
editIPA: (file)
Symbol
editɣ
- (IPA) a voiced velar fricative.
- (phonetics, obsolete) letter in Doke (1925) for a voiced dental click.
- (doubled ligature) letter in Doke (1925) for a voiced lateral click.
Usage notes
editSometimes confused with ⟨ɤ⟩, the unrounded back vowel letter (ram's horns), especially in its "baby gamma" form, but the vowel letter does not drop below the baseline, which the consonant ⟨ɣ⟩ does.
