stop consonant
A stop consonant, also known as a plosive, is a type of consonant sound produced by the vocal tract completely stopping the airflow and then releasing it. This is done by blocking the airway at a certain point such as by closing the lips, touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth, or closing the throat, and then quickly opening it again. Some examples in English include the sounds represented by the letters "p," "b," "t," "d," "k," and "g".
