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
