ꬶ (cross-tailed G, lowercase only) is a letter of the Latin alphabet.^[1]

It was used in Teuthonista for the purposes of German dialectology, prior to the development of the International Phonetic Alphabet.^[2]^[3]

Usage

In 1893, Otto Bremer used cross-tailed g to represent a palatalizated voiced velar plosive [gʲ] in his phonetic transcription, but replaces it with g with inverted breve ⟨g̑⟩. It has also been used in other transcriptions, like Arwid Johannson's Phonetics of the New High German language^[4] or Edmund Crosby Quiggin's Donegal Irish dialect transcription, in which it represents the voiced velar fricative [ɣ].
