You cannot be serious! In Irish, the weakening of [s] to [h] is a
regular grammatical feature. I don't know about "plausible development
path", but I reckon even in many varieties of Spanish the weakening of
intervocalic [s] into [h] is a frequent and predictable feature in
rapid speech.

Intervocalic? Or final? I never heard the former.

Well, to an extent, I think I've heard [pa 'ha o] for <pasado>, but it's certainly not as 'standard' as in final position.
