### Rounding and Labialization


#### Co-articulation
| 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` |

| `lbv` | `lbv` | labial-velar |
| `lbp` | | labial-palatal |
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`.
