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.

I seem to remember a reference to a dialect in which "sus ojos azules"
was rendered as "suh ohoh ahuleh", with varying forms inbetween this and
standard Castilian.

There was this guy with the name Lipski or something, who wrote an
immensely interesting introductory book about Latin American Spanish.
Have you, or has anybody here, access to a copy?
