какуминальный согласный звук (cacuminal consonant) - is a consonant that you make raising the top of your tongue right to the palate.Originally Posted by Vladi
In Russian such consonants are
ж
ш
р
Life is great and so are you
It means consonantals like "р", "ш".
The Big soviet encyclopedia says:
(from lat. cacumen - sharp edge (острый край), top)
front consonants, top of your tongue is raised and creased up while front part of your tongue is incurved.
Please correct my mistakes in English

Yeah, makes a lot of sense since "cacumen" in Latin means "summit".Originally Posted by Красота-то какая
Since "Knowing gets no place" (el saber no ocupa lugar), I inform to the whole world that this word is rather used in Spanish in coloquial language as synonimous of "intelligence, common sense, head ". and it is said: "Such a person has no cacumen" if his opinion counts little or nothing.
