Yes, I meant velarization.

unrounded vowel.

This is incorrect. In page ix of the IPA handbook, the modifier
letter gamma is used to indicate velarization. This is not the "ram's
horn vowel" which is an unrounded o -- and a gamma is certainly a
consonant, not a vowel. Note that modifier letter j (also a
consonant) is used to indicate palatalization.
