The change of p, initial and intervocalic, to h in Kanarese was noticed by Western scholars early. Caldwell says "the initial p of nearly all the words-whether they are pure Dravidian or Sanskrit derivatives-changes to h". A more careful study of this change of p to h was made by Kittel in his Grammar. He points out that initial p was changed to h in Kēśirāja's time (1260) optionally. But he has not given evidence from the inscriptions to show when p changed to h
