Cross-tailed G


is a letter of the Latin alphabet.
ꬶ was used in Teuthonista for the purposes of German dialectology, prior to the development of the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Usage

In 1893, Otto Bremer used a cross-tailed g to represent a palatalizated voiced velar plosive in his phonetic transcription, but he replaced it with g with inverted breve. It has also been used in other transcriptions, like Arwid Johannson's Phonetics of the New High German language or Edmund Crosby Quiggin's Donegal Irish dialect transcription, in which it represents the voiced velar fricative.
