-/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:
+Word initially, /p/, /t/, /k/ shift to [f], [s] and [x], respectively, when the following syllable shares the same onset. Intervocalically, the 3 plosives affricate and remain voiceless:

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