č  is the same as the sound at the beginning and end of English ‘church.’
č̓  is ejective. It is like č but ‘ejected’ out of the mouth with a strong pop.

y  is the same as the sound at the beginning of English ‘yes’ and at the end of ‘buy.’
y̓  is like y but is made with a creaky sound caused by a tightness in the throat.
