Uvular ejective fricative

<h2 id="features">Features</h2>
<p>Features of the uvular ejective fricative:
</p>
<ul><li>Its <a href="/facts/Manner_of_articulation/HxyCqDQC">manner of articulation</a> is <a href="/facts/Fricative/1FQuuhfX">fricative</a>, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing <a href="/facts/Turbulence/NpgFUhG5">turbulence</a>.</li>
<li>Its <a href="/facts/Place_of_articulation/exCzaxeF">place of articulation</a> is <a href="/facts/Uvular_consonant/XA5mSSKK">uvular</a>, which means it is articulated with the back of the <a href="/facts/Tongue/oW4tp3a0">tongue</a> (the dorsum) at the <a href="/facts/Palatine_uvula/ogxp4I1A">uvula</a>.</li>
<li>Its <a href="/facts/Phonation/u2IGLdgG">phonation</a> is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.</li>
<li>It is an <a href="/facts/Oral_consonant/feM4cful">oral consonant</a>, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.</li>
<li>The <a href="/facts/Airstream_mechanism/qooe2ESC">airstream mechanism</a> is <a href="/facts/Ejective_consonant/TDKaffPV">ejective</a> (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping the <a href="/facts/Glottis/ClsRRUkM">glottis</a> upward.</li></ul>
