Usage notes
Linguists who used the old IPA click letters ⟨ส ส ส⟩ would use ⟨๐ผ⟩ for palatal clicks, but that letter was never officially adopted by the IPA. (The old IPA letter ⟨ส⟩ was intended for this purpose, but had been misanalyzed as 'velar' and never used.)
In IPA, 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 kอ๐ผ qอ๐ผ Voiced ษกอ๐ผ ษขอ๐ผ Nasal ลอ๐ผ ษดอ๐ผ
The tie bar may be omitted, and the accompanying letter may be superscripted.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨๐ผอq⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
Beach used simple ⟨๐ผ⟩ for the Khoekhoe voiceless oral click and ⟨๐ผ⟩ for the voiced nasal click .
