Uvular–epiglottal consonant

A uvular–epiglottal consonant is a doubly articulated consonant pronounced by making a simultaneous uvular consonant and epiglottal consonant. An example is the Somali "uvular" plosive /q/, which is a voiceless uvular–epiglottal plosive [q͜ʡ], as in [q͜ʡíìq͜ʡ] 'to emit smoke'.
