1. High lexical tone on a syllable ending in a vowel or nasal consonant.

High tone is written ⟨ʼ⟩ with a final plosive, including the otherwise unwritten glottal stop. The possibilities are thus aˮ amˮ anˮ angˮ abʼ adʼ agʼ aʼ (and similarly for other vowels).

• (phoneme) IPA^(key): /ʔ/

ˮ

1. The thirty-sixth letter of the Tundra Nenets alphabet, written in the Cyrillic script.

Usually marks instances of the glottal stop /ʔ/ that either do not participate in any alternation, or alternate with the oral stop д (d°) /d/, in contrast with the letter ʼ. Often transcribed q in scholarly sources. In some words the letter is silent and is used to indicate word-final consonants that are not followed by an unwritten schwa.
