 * Hello. Do you know how the sense of "consonant" came to be? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, the root is which means among other things, "to be manifest/to be visible/to appear". There are related terms like  which mean "discernible", "perceptible by the senses", "distinct", "distinguished". This is why  is used to refer to a consonant - having a clear and distinguishable sound. -- माधवपंडित (talk) 02:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
