* Proto-Nenta is typically considered a CCV language, where any singular consonant, any plosive before /x/, and any plosive after /s/ is allowed. Null onset is also allowed, though in Classical Nenta these seem to have become coda approximants. As the consonant clusters near-universally simplified, however, sometimes these clusters are considered a single consonant. | * Proto-Nenta is typically considered a CCV language, where any singular consonant, any plosive before /x/, and any plosive after /s/ is allowed.

* The uvular consonants reconstructed for Proto-Nenta—Caligan have been merged into the velar consonants. The so-called "uvular stop" shown above corresponds to the Proto-Nenta—Caligan glottal stop /ʔ/, though its value is uncertain, as it has glottal reflexes in Old Rokadong, but uvular in ancient Kanafan, and freely-varying in Karanesa. The use of the uvular stop letter is also partially a matter of convenience, as it is more difficult to type ʔ than q. | * The uvular consonants reconstructed for Proto-Nenta—Caligan have been merged into the velar consonants.
