Another classification of consonants is by active point of articulation. There are five such points for Chlouvānem consonants: | |||
* ''diṇḍha'' "larynx, throat" — all laryngeal consonants | |||
* ''jeltālǣca'' "tongue root" — all velar consonants | |||
* ''jeltārašan'' "tongue surface" — all palatal and palatalized consonants plus /s/ and /n/, i.e. laminal consonants | |||
* ''jeltāthiḍa'' "tongue tip" — dental stops and retroflex consonants, i.e. apical consonants (retroflex ones are actually subapical) | |||
* ''šuhærṣūlaukas'' "lower lip" — all labial consonants | |||
