  Ǹ and *Ǹ

Etymology: Eretiǹgrai NG and GN, and HGN and NK and KN, from the same letters in Mižinai.

The 17th letter of the T́uliǹgrai alphabet has two aspects, voiced and voiceless.

The voiced aspect of this consonant is pronounced like the GN in English words like "gnaw" and "gnurl", assuming you don't just pronounce GN as N; or like the N in "sing" or "thing", again assuming you don't pronounce "ing" as "in". The name of this aspect is ǹe (informal) or eǹeretai (formal).

The voiceless aspect is pronounced like the KN in English "knave" or "knife", or the N before K in words like "think" and "sink", again assuming proper English pronunciation. Its name is *ǹi (informal) or e*ǹiretai (formal).
