| | Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract. |
 | | The term plosive is reserved for oral (non-nasal) stops: that is, stops with a release burst. |
 | | Initial voiceless plosives, like the p in pie, are aspirated, with a palpable puff of air upon release, while a plosive after an s, as in spy, is tenuis. |
