| /b/<ref name="thebw">The quality of b/w is uncertain. The corresponding syllable sign is derived from the <al> glyph, and no consonantal equivalent has been found. The sound takes on variable forms in later Besokian languages, including /v/ and /f/ in Proto-Soskish, /v/, /u/, and /j/ in Reknayan, and /b/ in Kattasian. Possible realizations include a voiced labial plosive /b/ and a labiovelar approximant /w/.</ref>               ||          || /t/ /d/  ||              || /k/ /g/ ||            ||

A voicing contrast is present only the in the plosives, with /d/ as the only common voiced plosive phoneme. /g/ is rare, /p/ absent entirely. It is unclear if a voiced labial plosive existed; a potentially corresponding glyph has been variably interpreted as /b/, /w/, or /f/ (see [[Proto-Besokian writing#Pronunciation of B7]]). /k/
