clear sound; unvoiced syllable; syllable without dakuten/handakuten
In Japanese phonology, a syllable with an unvoiced consonant (except /p/), written without a dakuten or handakuten; contrasts with 濁音 (voiced) and 半濁音 (semi-voiced).
"Ka" is a clear sound, and "ga" is a voiced sound.
Clear sounds have neither a dakuten nor a handakuten.
