Audio: Voiced_velar_fricative.ogg Forms: ɣ Doke's obsolete letter for a voiced lateral click The 'baby gamma' variant of the vowel letter ⟨ɤ⟩ [canonical]
Etymology: A 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).
