## Rounding and Labialization

| Feature | Name | Rounded | Position |
|---------|------------|---------|--------------------------------|
| `unr` | unrounded | No | Close to the jaw. |
| `ptr` | protruded | Yes | Protrude outward from the jaw. |
| `cmp` | compressed | Yes | Close to the jaw. |

The degree of rounding/labialization is specified using the following features:

| Feature | Name |
|---------|--------------|
| `mrd` | more rounded |
| `lrd` | less rounded |

### Vowel Rounding

| Rounding | Feature | Phoneme Model |
|-----------|---------|------------------------------------------|
| unrounded | `unr` | `unr` |
| rounded | `rnd` | `ptr` if `bck` or `cnt`; `cmp` if `fnt`. |

| 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 |
|---------|--------|------------|
| `ptr` | ◌ʷ, ◌ᶣ | protruded |
| `cmp` | ◌ᵝ | compressed |


Additionally, the degree of rounding/labialization can be specified using the
following features:
