Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Ṣatva (षत्व).—Change of the consonant स् (s) into ष् (ṣ) in certain conditions in the formation of a word, or after prepositions in the case of verbs beginning with स् (s). This cerebralization of स् (s) was a peculiar phonetic change which naturally occurred when स् (s) in utterance came after a vowel excepting अ. Some of the Pratisakhya works have exhaustively treated this change and Panini has also mentioned many rules in connection with it.
