The consonants are like the word-initial vowels: they consist of a medial form, a word-final form, a sentence-final form, and a paragraph-final form. The word-final form is just a dotted version of the medial form, and the paragraph-final form is just the sentence-final form embellished with a vertical bar or an underline.
Consonant Table
In the following consonant table, we display the 4 forms of each consonant in the order: medial, word-final, sentence-final, and paragraph-final. The consonants are layed out in the same arrangement Kingdom Era teachers taught them. For the reader's convenience, we label each consonant with its corresponding equivalent in the Roman orthography.

Consonant Clusters
Ebisédian also has consonant clusters, all of which have r as the second consonant. These are written as a ligature of the first consonant with the ligand form of r. The r-ligand has three forms:
| Medial/sentence-final: |  |
| Word-final: |  |
| Paragraph-final: |  |
The four forms of a consonant cluster are composed as follows: the first consonant is written in medial form for medial and word-final clusters, and in sentence-final form for sentence- and paragraph-final clusters. The medial form of the r-ligand is used for medial and sentence-final clusters; word-final clusters use the dotted r-ligand, and paragraph-final clusters use the paragraph-final form of the r-ligand. The following table demonstrates how these forms are composed for the cluster “kr”.
