### Place of Articulation

The place of articulation is described in terms of an active articulator and
one or more passive articulators<sup>\[<a href="#ref9">9</a>\]</sup>. The
possible places of articulation are:

| Place of Articulation | Feature | Symbol | Active | Passive |
|-----------------------|-----------|--------|--------|---------|
| bilabial | `blb` | | `lbl` | `ulp` |
| labiodental | `lbd` | ◌̪ | `lbl` | `utt` |
| dental | `dnt` | ◌̪ | `apc` | `utt` |
| alveolar | `alv` | | `apc` | `alf` |
| palato-alveolar | `pla` | | `lmn` | `alb` |
| retroflex | `rfx` | | `sac` | `hpl` |
| alveolo-palatal | `alp` | | `dsl` | `alb` |
| palatal | `pal` | | `dsl` | `hpl` |
| velar | `vel` | | `dsl` | `spl` |
| uvular | `uvl` | | `dsl` | `uvu` |
| pharyngeal | `phr` | | `rdl` | `prx` |
| glottal | `glt` | | `lyx` | `gts` |

The features for these places of articulation are provided for convenience, and
to make it easier to describe the IPA consonants. Internally, the active and
passive articulators are used.

The ◌̪ diacritic is `lbd` when used on `blb` consonants, and `dnt` when used on
`alv` consonants.
