adjective more consonantal · most consonantal

Of, relating to, or functioning as a consonant.
Opposite: vocalic
Containing one or more consonants. Due to the shape of the aspect infixes, ‹er› and ‹ol›, it is possible for the pseudovowels to occur immediately after their consonantal counterpart, as in *p‹ol›lltxe. When this happens in an unstressed syllable, the pseudovowel disappears, poltxe.
