annotations to specify the type of labialization. Vowels can use these to annotations to specify the type of labialization. Vowels can use these to
change their labialization from the default one specified by `rnd`. change their labialization from the default one specified by `rnd`.


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

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

### Vowel Height ### Vowel Height

| `unx` | ◌̚ | no audible release (unexploded) | | `unx` | ◌̚ | no audible release (unexploded) |

| `pzd` | ◌ʲ | palatalized | `hpl` | Passive Articulator |
| `vzd` | ◌ˠ | velarized | `spl` | Passive Articulator |
| `fzd` | ◌ˤ | pharyngealized | `prx` | Passive Articulator |
| `nzd` | ◌̃ | nasalized | `nsl` | Target |
| `rzd` | ◌˞ | rhoticized | `rfx` | Place of Articulation |

Additionally, the tongue root position can be specified using the following
features:

| Feature | Symbol | Name |
|---------|--------|-----------------------|
| `atr` | ◌̘ | advanced tongue root |
| `rtr` | ◌̙ | retracted tongue root |

__NOTE:__ The IPA supports ◌̴ for velarized or pharynealized consonants. Unicode
has deprecated this combining character, while keeping the combined forms. As
such, only the combined forms are supported, using the `fzd` feature. Cainteoir
Text-to-Speech uses `vfz` for this combining character, but eSpeak NG does not
preserve the distinction between ◌ˤ and ◌̴.
