There is only one series of plosives in 17aug. These are the unaspirated, unvoiced stops {{IPA|/p t k/}} which may be realised differently depending on where they occur.
While they are generally unaspirated, they may receive aspiration at the end of sentences, e.g. ''päht'' 'stone' non-final {{IPA|[pæht]}} becoming sentence-final {{IPA|[pæhtʰ]}}.
Furthermore, they may also be semi-voiced intervocalically and after [n], [m] and [l], e.g. ''sede'' 'path' {{IPA|[ˈsʲed̥ʲe]}}.
