This article concerns itself with the realization of the dorsal fricative /x/ as the stop /k/ in the context before a fricative-initial suffix in many varieties of East Franconian, e. g. /mɑx+st/ ➝ [mɑkst] (cf. [mɑxə], [mɑxt], [mɑxən]). It is shown that the change from /x/ to /k/ before /s/ is a dissimilation. This finding is important because research in phonology has revealed that synchronic dissimilations are not common in the languages of the world (Bye 2011, Hall 2020). The goal of the article is to discuss the East Franconian data in order to motivate dissimilation as a synchronic process
