15. Indo-Iranian languages present a special development out of IE voiced aspirate +t, although they also show a few forms of the normal development as given in 14 above, This special IIr treatment may as well be an optional treatment in proto-IE, although examples are citable from IIr only. Accordingly IE voiced aspirate tt>(optionally or dialectally) IE voiced aspirate +d>IE voiced nonaspirate +-dh. IE bhidh +.to-s > IE bhiddhos > Skt biddhaḥ (beside
Gk pistós 14). IE sēģh+to-s > IE sēģdhos > Skt sādhaḥ (beside Gk
