glottal
A glottal is related to the glottis, which is the part of the larynx consisting of the vocal cords and the opening between them. It affects voice modulation through expansion or contraction. In phonetics, a glottal sound or stop is one that is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract with the glottis. It is often associated with the "uh-oh" sound in English.
