charts. Thus, when ◌̥ is used with a `vcd` consonant that does not have an
equivalent `vls` consonant, the resulting consonant is `vls`, not `slv`.

### Rounding and Labialization

| Feature | Symbol | Name | Rounded | Position |
|---------|--------|------------|---------|-----------------------------------------|
| `unr` | | unrounded | No | Close to the jaw. |
| `ptr` | ◌ʷ, ◌ᶣ | protruded | Yes | Protrude outward from the jaw. |
| `cmp` | ◌ᵝ | compressed | Yes | Close to the jaw. |
| `rnd` | | rounded | Yes | `ptr` if `bck` or `cnt`; `cmp` if `fnt` |

The `unr` and `rnd` features are used for vowels to describe their default
labialization. Consonants are `unr` by default, and can use the ◌ʷ, ◌ᶣ and ◌ᵝ
annotations to specify the type of labialization. Vowels can use these to
change their labialization from the default one specified by `rnd`.
| Feature | Symbol | Name |
|---------|--------|------------|

| `cmp` | ◌ᵝ | compressed |
