devoicing = unreleased

If you don't devoice a final voiced consonant, you may end up releasing that consonant, thereby hearing a vowel.

To avoid this, you need to stop voicing, then release it.

options:
devoice, then release (unreleased)
voice and release (released)

So, languages vary on this aspect: English falls in the first class
