- (IPA) [k]-onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion), [k]-release, [k]-coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [k].
- (IPA, on a click consonant) A voiceless velar as opposed to uvular click; specifically:
- velar dental click ⟨ᵏǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᵏʇ⟩),
- velar alveolar click ⟨ᵏǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᵏʗ⟩),
- velar palatal click ⟨ᵏǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᵏ𝼋⟩),
- velar lateral click ⟨ᵏǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨ᵏʖ⟩),
- velar bilabial click ⟨ᵏʘ⟩,
- velar retroflex click ⟨ᵏ𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨ᵏ‼⟩ (old-style ⟨ᵏ
ψ ⟩). - Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂᵏ⟩ rather than ⟨ᵏǂ⟩, or ⟨ǂᵏʰ⟩ rather than ⟨ᵏǂʰ⟩ if aspirated, – may imply an audible velar release.
