| Feature | Kirshenbaum | IPA | Name |
|---------|-------------|-----|-----------------|
| `vlv` | | ◌̥ | voiceless |
| `vcv` | | ◌̬ | voiced |
| `brv` | | ◌̤ | breathy voiced |
| `crv` | | ◌̰ | creaky voiced |

__NOTE:__ The `vlv` and `vcv` diacritics may be used to fill in spaces within
the IPA charts, or to make a distinction between *fortis* and *lenis* consonants.
Cainteoir Text-to-Speech uses `slv` (slack voice) and `stv` (stiff voice) for
these features instead.
The IPA ◌̬ and ◌̥ diacritics (*voiced* and *voiceless*) are used for both
filling spaces in the IPA consonants chart and making the distinction
between *fortis* and *lenis* consonants. Cainteoir Text-to-Speech uses `slv`
(slack voice) and `stv` (stiff voice) for these diacritics. For eSpeak NG,
these diacritics are only used for controlling their voiced/voiceless
property (and thus their position on the IPA code chart), so `vls` and `vcd`
are used for these diacritics.
