I was talking of Greek sandhi rules.

What about Dutch lik+hamo>lichaam or rik+hard>Richard (ch pronounced x)?

(1) Stop + aspirate contraction, whether in simple sandhi (ouk he:dus > oukHe:dus) or in crasis (ta himatia > tHaimatia), normally took place phrase-internally between a proclitic and the following word, and of course in compound verbs and words derived from them (ap-histe:mi > apHiste:mi). I don't think this kind of assimilation operated in ordinary compounds (leuko- + hippos > Leukippos), or at least I can't think of any examples to falsify this belief.        Piotr
