This phonetic change in Nahuatl is discussed by Campbell and Langacker
1978, part II (in International Journal of American Linguistics), p.201, ft
43. I think that they were the first to propose a morphological
conditioning for the loss of initial *p- (preservation only in verbs and
some kinship terms, because they are generally prefixed and therefore *p is
not word-initial in at least part of the paradigm).
