1. sonant

   In phonetics, a sonant is a sound such as a voiced vowel or consonant that can be continuously sounded, as opposed to sounds like plosives or fricatives which can only be made in short bursts. It is characterized by its speech sound during which the airflow is not blocked and any accompanying noise is relatively quiet. Sonants usually form the peak of syllables.
