> `h` which is silent unless preceded by an `s` That's incorrect. See for example deshonesto.

  Haha, an exception to the exception. The rule more clearly applies to `ch`, and I think the prefix `des` is why the `sh` rule doesn't apply. That said, I'm not an expert here.

    I might be wrong, but I think the "sh" combination in Spanish words exists exclusively in prefix-stem contexts (deshacer, transhumanismo).
  • naniwaduni 6y ago
    Modern Spanish doesn't normally use "sh" as a cluster at all outside loanwords. (See also: k, w.)
    • ch4s3 6y ago
      yes, it mainly applies to "ch" in modern Spanish...
