Plain plosives spirantize and plain fricatives debuccalize word initially when in an unstressed syllable:
[WIP]
 
/t/ shifts to /t͡ʃ/ word initially when the following syllable repeats the onset, but under the same conditions /p/ and /k/ become /f/ and /x/, respectively:

It's theorized that all three plosives originally became affricates, but [t͡ʃ] is the only one to have resisted further spirantization.
