s->h
In classical Greek, an original word-initial *s developed into h.
(compare Latin "sex", Greek "hex" for the number 'six').
In Sanskrit, an original word-final *s developed into h. (compare
Latin "sumus", Skr. "smaH").
What would be a plausible development path from s to h? I have
difficulties imagining one.
