Definition:

A term used in phonetics to refer to the backwards movement of an articulator, especially the back of the tongue towards the velum. Retracted sounds are heard in velarization, or the centralization of front vowels. The tongue root may also be retracted. [Crystal 2008: 398]

It is not clear whether Retracted is a LabialProperty. From the literature it does not appear to be. A different parent should be considered, e.g. MannerProperty.
