Aspirates except ch, jh, th, dh, become mostly changed to h in the intervocalic position (Pischel, grammar $ 188): this feature is found more frequently also in Bhāsas Prākrit: but contrarily it is absolutely wanting in Aśvaghoșa. 12
The old Indian kh becomes changed to h: ahimuha (abhimukha) Pratij. 46, beside mukha Svapnav. 19, sahippanaa (sakhipranaya) Avim. 8r, leha (lekha) Pratij 4. The word suha (sukha) is evidenced in this form only : Svapnav. 27, Pratij. 6, Avim. 23, 24, 56, Abhis. 13, 22.

The old Indian th becomes changed to h: ahava (athavā) Avim. 28, kahassaṁ (kathyasyāmi) Svapnav. 53, taha (tathā) Abhis. 24, paha (patha) Pratij. 55, saņāha (sanātha) Avim. 101. Also in the ending of the 2 nd pars. plur. of the Indicative and Imperative: suņaha Pratij. 50.

The old Indian ph becomes changed to h : sehālia (sephālikā) Svapnav. 3r. For this change compare Pischel 200.
The old Indian bh becomes changed to h: ahinava (abhinava) Avim. 79, ahimuha (abhimukha) Pratij. 46, ahiramadi (abhiramate) Avim. 14, padiņņāhāra (pratijñābhadra) Svapnav. 57, soha) Avim. 73.
Often the sound bh remains unchaged : abhijana (abhijana) Svapnav. 92, abhiņavd Avim. 37.

(drsyate) - 58. Bāl, 50, Madhyam. 4, Urubh 101.
In the word sīsa (śīrsa) the sound-group is always simplified and the preceding vowel is lengthened : Svapnav. 48, 50, 51, 56, 76, Pratij. 40, Avim. 79. In Aśvaghoṣa one reads, for example, only the form dissadi(luders 118 C
