Voiced aspirated alveolar plosive to Voiced alveolar plosive
The shift from [dʱ] to [d] often occurs as a result of Grassmann's Law, a process of dissimilatory deaspiration in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit. If an aspirated consonant is followed by another aspirated consonant in the next syllable, the first one loses its aspiration.
