My friend just sent me a followup on dissimilation in Spanish with another prefix: "I completely forgot to add the words with the prefix cum- 'with,' which include the pleonastic conmigo 'with me' from cum- + mecum! There are 38 such words [in the Diccionario de la lengua espaņola de la Real Academia Espaņola], such as conmutar 'commute' (a sentence, not commute to work) and conmover 'move to pity.'"
(Edit: the things you find via Wikipedia: DRAE online.)
