, written  in the literature, is a laminal post-alveolar coronal stop that is indeterminate as to voicing. The phonemic status of  is unclear; if  is interpreted as vowel sequences , then this contrasts with long vowels (where the two V's are the same) and vowel sequences separated by linking glides (where the two V's are different).
The ambiguous nature of  in written literature stems from its uncertain voicing, leading to debate about whether it should be classified as a voiced or voiceless coronal stop.
