Translingual
Diacritical mark
◌̑
- (NAPA) A diacritic optionally used with a letter with a descender to indicate advanced articulation, e.g. ⟨g̑⟩ for ⟨ɡ̯⟩ (IPA ), ⟨γ̑⟩ (IPA ).
- (IPA, rare) A diacritic optionally used with a vowel letter with a descender to show that it is nonsyllabic, i.e. ⟨y̑⟩ for ⟨y̯⟩.
- Synonym: ◌̯
- (UPA) a central vowel.
- (Old Cyrillic) kamora, diacritic used with vowels; not to be confused with the palatalization mark ◌҄ used with consonants.
Usage notes
(UPA): With normal vowels, the breve appears below the letter, e.g. ⟨i̮ e̮ ɛ̮ a̮⟩ and rounded ⟨u̮ o̮ ɔ̮ ɑ̮⟩. However, when the vowel letter is rotated to indicate a reduced vowel, the breve is rotated as well: ⟨ᴉ̑ ə̑ ᴈ̑ ɐ̑ ɒ̑⟩.
