Clusters of sonorants or sibilants, followed by plosives were permissible and thus remained unchanged. The reverse clusters (with plosives as the first element of a cluster), as well as clusters with more than two consonants and some heterorganic clusters, were resolved by vowel [[w:Epenthesis|anaptyxis]], also called '''pleophony''' after a similar process in the East Slavic languages: PIE ''*bʰrodʰos'' > Carpathian ''baràdas'' (Western ''boràdas'') “ford”. This also affected borrowings from the neighbouring languages: Slavic ''*korl′ь'' > Carpathian ''koròlias/karàlias'' “king”, the "rl"-cluster being a heterorganic sonorant cluster, difficult to pronounce. | Clusters of sonorants or sibilants, followed by plosives were permissible and thus remained unchanged.

The clusters of two plosives typically resulted in a geminate second consonant: PIE ''*septḿ̥'' > Proto-Carpathian ''se'''pt'''imas'' > Carpathian ''se'''tt'''imas'' “seven”. However, early geminate dental plosives were broken into homorganic clusters with fricatives as the first element: PIE ''*h₁éd-ti'' > Early Proto-Carpathian ''ē'''tt'''ei'' > Carpathian ''ē'''st'''ei'' “to eat”. | |||
