As there is no official diacritic for compression in the IPA, the spread-lip diacritic ⟨ ͍ ⟩ will be used here with the rounded vowel ⟨ʉ⟩ as an ad hoc symbol. Other possible transcriptions are ⟨ɨ͡β̞⟩ (simultaneous and labial compression) and ⟨ɨᵝ⟩ ( modified with labial compression).

“Give up the belief that mind is, even temporarily, compressed within the skull, and you will quickly become more manly or womanly. You will understand yourself and your Maker better than before.”
