e.g. Skt märga>Pkt magga
Skt cakra > Pkt cakka etc. But r with a mute is not assimilated in Greek. e.g. IE pro > pra in Gk
IE rud hros> eruthros in Gk.
There are also other cases of comparison of assimilation between Prakrit and Greek. Only the important ones are dealt with in this paper. Others are omitted for the time being.
Thus Middle Indo-Aryan and Greek both have assimilaled consonants. The difference lies in the fact that the strength of consonants differ in MIA and Gk as shown above. Furthur it is also observable that Gk does not assimilate some conjuncts like first MIA where conjuncts with r and s are not assimilated in some dialects. (e. g. Asokan Inscrip
on asti bramana etc). So Greek is more like Prakrit than Sanskrit, since Skt does not assimilate any heterogenous conjuncts in internal sandhi.
