Meanings

1. Of, relating to, or functioning as a consonant.
2. 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. 2024 August 27, William S.
