What's the motivation for not using the common name for this consonant in the article? Where does the term "breathy-voiced glottal transition" come from? I'm aware that the name is descriptive of the production of this sound, but there should still be some support from usage in linguistic literature. I seem to recall seeing "voiced glottal fricative" when I've seen it mentioned.
