OK, so synthesizing these replies/reblogs plus previous ones plus messages I received directly, many of which involved words I've never seen before:
k-type sounds (hard c-, hard g-, qu-) --> I'm going to call these velar plosives (does this come from velum = sail? if so why? not important, just curious).
nasals (m-, n-), liquids (l-, r-) and sibilants [technically voiceless sibilant fricatives?] (s-) --> I'm going to lump these under the term sonorants.
PLEASE let me know if I'm so wrong that if you came across this in an academic article you would throw it to the ground in disgust or tell your friend "hey check out what this idiot wrote!" And thank you so much to everybody for helping out!
(also: correction, because I was writing from memory without checking: first line was paen' insularum Sirmi' insularumque, not paen' insularumque etc.)
