Pulmonic egressive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (122 words)
In human speech, pulmonic egressive sounds are those in which the air stream is created by the lungs (pulmonic) exhaling and pushing air out (egressive) through the mouth or nose.
Glottalic consonants may be either ingressive (implosive consonants) or egressive (ejective consonants).
The two other theoretically possible combinations, pulmonic ingressive and velaric egressive, however, are only known from the apparently constructed ritual language Damin.
