Well, the change /k/->/g/ actually happened in Spanish, as well as /p/->/=
b/
and /t/->/d/. But I think that voiceless->voiced is unlikely to happen a=
t
the same time then voiced->unvoiced. Probably a more natural change:
voiced stops -> voiced fricatives
voiceless stops -> voiced stops
some time later:
voiced fricatives -> voiceles stops
this make finnal change patterns like:
p -> b
t -> d
k -> g
b -> f
d -> T
g -> x
