Now that's a term of elegant literary possibilities:

“Don't you still love me, Robert?” says Ida, worrying the cord of her bathrobe. Without looking up from the floor on which he has just spat, Robert emits a voiceless bilabial-labiodental affricate which transitions into a voiceless unreleased alveolar stop, acidly.
