Assibilation

From Freepedia

Assibilation is the introduction of sibilance to a sound, to produce a sibilant consonant.

For example, there is a sound change currently in progress in Finnish, where a word-final syllable /ti/ preceding a liquid (or even a long vowel) changes to /si/: kieltikielsi, or by some speakers säätisääsi.
