Correction: I meant to compare contractions of (i)s, (a)re, (ha)ve with abhinihita sandhi (loss of initial a- after -e or -o), not kṣipra (let alone prakṣipta, a typo).

Howard Resnick gives an example of a spelling change for internal sandhi. Can someone give me an example of a spelling change for word junction (external) sandhi in a non-Indian language (if such a thing exists?).
