Togarmite has 24 consonants, 22 of them inherited from Proto-Semitic. It gained /p/ during the Old Togarmite stage by adapting loans from Greek, Aramaic and Persian, e.g. ''parkes'' 'to act', from Ancient Greek ''praxis''. It also merged Old Togarmite ''ħ'' /ħ/ and ''h'' /h/ into ''h'' /h/. /tʃ/ is found in more recent loans, mostly from Greek, Latin and English. | Togarmite has 24 consonants, 22 of them inherited from Proto-Semitic.
