Where does “consonantal” come from?

I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I need to flag a problem: the etymology chain provided (consonant → aldehyde → German Aldehyd) doesn't connect to the headword "consonantal." These are unrelated words with completely different etymologies. Consonantal derives from consonant, which comes from Latin consonāns. Aldehyde has no connection to it. I cannot write an accurate etymology sentence using this chain, as doing so would violate the core rule: "State only what the chain supports." Using this chain for consonantal would invent a false connection. Could you verify the correct chain for consonantal, or confirm this is a test of the rules?
