◌᪻

◌᪻, ◌᪽

1. (extIPA, Teuthonista) indicates that the quality imparted by a diacritic is weaker/lesser than normal.

   For example, ⟨ḁ᪽⟩ is a partially devoiced [a], and ⟨ã᪻⟩ a lightly nasalized [a].

2. (Teuthonista, on a superscript) indicates that a vowel is especially weakened.

   For example, ⟨ⁱ⟩ is a weak or fleeting [i]; with ⟨⁽ⁱ⁾⟩, the [i] is scarcely there.

3. (Teuthonista, on an ascender or descender) indicates that the quality conveyed by the ascender/descender is weakened. Used specifically on the palatal nasal ⟨ŋ᪽⟩.

Parentheses around a doubled diacritic, as ⟨ẽ̃᪻⟩, indicates a degree of intensity intermediate between that of a single and doubled diacritic. Increasing degrees of nasalization of the vowel [e] are written ⟨e ẽ᪻ ẽ ẽ̃᪻ ẽ̃⟩. Similarly, increasing rounding is written ⟨e ë᪻ ë ë̈᪻ ë̈⟩.
