  • Voiceless plosive epiglottaler [ ʡ ]
  • Voiced epiglottaler fricative [ ʢ ]
  • Voiceless fricative epiglottaler [ ʜ ]

Epiglottale Trille also occur, but are not phonemic and therefore have no representation in the international phonetic alphabet. In the literature, sometimes the symbol [ ᴙ ] will be used.
