    As the International Phonetic Alphabet does not have separate symbols for the alveolar consonants (the same symbol is used for all coronal places of articulation that are not palatalized), this sound is usually transcribed θ̠ , occasionally θ͇ (retracted or alveolarized [θ], respectively), ɹ̝̊ (constricted voiceless [ɹ]), or t̞ ...
