Ballistic Phonation
$LANG features ballistic phonation of its syllables. Orthographically this is represented as a grave accent (for short vowels) and as a circumflex (for long vowels). For the purposes of this article, in the IPA this is represented as two vertical lines below the vowel (using /a/ as an example, /a͈/).
