Hindi terms usually undergo a sound change where geminate clusters are degeminated with compensatory lengthening and nasal + homorganic consonant clusters lose the nasal consonant and undergo compensatory lengthening with nasalization. For example, Prakrit सत्त (satta) > Hindi सात (sāt) and Prakrit दन्त (danta) > Hindi दाँत (dā̃t).
However, some words did not participate in this sound change. For example, Prakrit अच्छ (accha) > Hindi अच्छा (acchā). In many cases, these exist alongside an alternative (sometimes archaic or regional) form which underwent the sound change—compare आछा (āchā). Words which failed to undergo cluster simplification are included here.
