-Togarmite has 24 consonants, 22 of them inherited from Proto-Semitic. It gained /p/ during the Old Togarmite stage by adapting loans from Greek, Aramaic and Persian, e.g. ''parkes'' 'to act', from Ancient Greek ''praxis''. It also merged Old Togarmite ''ħ'' /ħ/ and ''h'' /h/ into ''h'' /h/, OTog ''č'' /tʃ/ and ''š'' /ʃ/ into ''š'' /ʃ/ and OTog ''j'' and ''ž'' into ''ž''. /tʃ/ is now found in more recent loans, mostly from Greek, Latin and English.
