: Or "burst". The articulatory phases for stops/plosives are catch (or "approach") - hold - release/burst, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_consonant

: Sure, but I'll be damned if I could find "audible/non-audible relaxation" in this context.

: The opposite of [+tense] is "lax" (laxness). The only audible difference between released and unreleased stops/plosives is the outflow (release/burst) of air in released ones / See http://www.ic.arizona.edu/~lsp/Phonetics/Vowels/Phonetics4e....

You're right about "lax" as an adjective, which is derived from "relaxation."
