With the following consonant, e.g., /lt/ -> /tt/

Incidentally, the same thing happened in Uatakassí, e.g.: sultakíi
(people; sul-takí-i) became suttakíi.  The assimilation itself was only
with nonlabial consonants, but it later became gramaticalized, so that
the gender prefixes til-, nal-, and sul- assimilate with *all*
consonants, for example, sum-matakí-i (slaves), hyphens added for
clarity.  However, that it was analogy, rather than a phonetic change,
is apparent in _uaulpá_ (love), where the _lp_ did NOT become _pp_,
contrast this with _uadiaguttá_ (cold) from _uadiagultá_.
