### Manner of Articulation

The manner of articulation is described in terms of several distinct feature
types. The possible manners of articulation are:

| Manner of Articulation | Feature | Symbol |
|------------------------|-----------|--------|
| nasal | `nas` | |
| plosive (stop) | `stp` | |
| affricate | `afr` | |
| fricative | `frc` | |
| tap/flap | `flp` | |
| trill | `trl` | |
| approximant | `apr` | |
| click | `clk` | |
| ejective | `ejc` | |
| implosive | `imp` | ◌ʼ |
| vowel | `vwl` | |

The features for these manners of articulation are provided for convenience,
and to make it easier to describe the IPA consonants. Internally, the
distinct feature types are used.
| Feature | Symbol | Name |
|-----------|--------|----------------|
| `nas` | | nasal |
| `stp` | | plosive (stop) |
| `afr` | | affricate |
| `frc` | | fricative |
| `flp` | | tap/flap |
| `trl` | | trill |
| `apr` | | approximant |
| `clk` | | click |
| `ejc` | | ejective |
| `imp` | ◌ʼ | implosive |
| `vwl` | | vowel |

The `vwl` phonemes are described using vowel height and backness features,
while consonants (the other manners of articulation) are described using
