Use Edit

Ge with hook is used in the literature of the Nivkh languages to represent the voiced uvular plosive [ɢ],[1] and is sometimes represented instead with the ge with descender ⟨Ӷ ӷ⟩.[2] It is used, in particular, in the Sakhalin dialects and not in the Amur dialect.[3]

Forms and variants Edit

Ge with hook has the hook attached to the right in Nivkh in Taksami 1996, as well as Eskaleut languages works such as Ainana 1994, and Vakhtin 2003, in the Chaplino dialect in Menovchtchikov 1988, Menovchtchikov and Vakhtin 1990, Sigunylik 2003, in Naukan Yupik in Menovchtchikov 1975.
