All consonants could also have palatalisation applied to them in any position, although this palatalisation spread throughout clusters.

The consonants /m n r/ could be either tense or lax. Lax sonorants were generally pronounced as plain sonorants, but could have a softer pronunciation after vowels, similar to lenited consonants. Tense sonorants were generally pronounced closer to a geminate, and could be found only medially and finally; finally, they were usually realised as a syllabic consonant, but other dialects might still use the geminate pronunciation. The tense sonorants were usually doubled in spelling — e.g. mm, nn, rr.
