One of these processes, the process of T-Lenition, is extremely common, even though it takes place only when the input consonant is adjacent to a small number of affixes. In this change, a stopped consonant, p t k b d g, becomes a fricative, s, z, š, ž. This process is called lenition, or weakening.
