From 2008 to 2015 the unused letter was picked up by the [[extensions to the IPA]] to mark a [[velodorsal]] articulation in [[speech pathology]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/extIPAChart2008.pdf |title=extIPA Symbols for Disordered Speech |website=www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722085129/http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/extIPAChart2008.pdf |archive-date=22 July 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

However, velar clicks are possible in the sense that the release sequence of the tongue closures can be reversed: in [[paralinguistic]] use in languages such as Wolof, it is the rear (often velar) closure rather than front one that is released to produce the sound, and such clicks arehave also been termedcalled 'velar'.<ref name=Lionnet>Florian Lionnet (f.c.) "Paralinguistic use of clicks in Chad"</ref>

The IPA letter was resurrected for such sounds, and was dropped from the extIPA to avoid confusion with suchthat usage.
