I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Slavic palatalizations. From
Bernard Comrie's chapter "Slavonic Languages" in his (ed.) _The
World's Major Languages_:

"Two main sets of sound changes separate Proto-Indo-European from
Common Slavonic. [...] The second major set of sound changes is a
series of palatalisations. By the first palatalisation, */g/, */k/,
*/x/ become, respectively, /Z/, /tS/, /S/ before original front
vowels,

Are any examples given? I'm particularly interested in examples of
*/x/->/S/, preferably examples with Sanskrit cognates.
