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]
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].
