Old Terg consonants
Old Tergetian had an inventory of some 70 consonants, including six geminate resonants. Most consonants belong in a broad-slender pair like in Irish and Russian. Some consonants are also formed specifically from sèimhiù and ùrù. The consonant inventory also resembles Modern Greater Wiobian and Hmong in some respects.
