1. Ejective Consonant

   Linked via "pulmonic"

   Ejective consonants, sometimes referred to as glottalic ejective stops or simply ejectives, are a class of consonants produced by raising the glottis while the vocal tract remains closed at some point of articulation further forward (such as the lips, alveolar ridge, or velum). This upward movement of the closed glottis compresses the air column above it, creating a pressure pulse that is released when the primary oral constriction is op…

2. Ejective Consonant

   Linked via "pulmonic egress"

   Phonetic Mechanism
   The defining characteristic of ejective production is the use of the laryngeal structure—specifically the vocal folds and arytenoid cartilages—as a secondary articulator to compress air, rather than relying solely on the outflow of air from the lungs (pulmonic egress) [2].
   The process involves three critical phases:
