initiation airstream mechanism initive ingressive injection function injective [Lat. inicere ‘to throw in’]

Ingressive speech sound formed with the pharyngeal airstream mechanism. While the larynx is raised in an ejective, it is lowered in an injective. As in an ejective, the glottis is closed and the vocal chords are unable to vibrate. Implosives are similar to injectives. ( also articulatory phonetics, speech sound)
