As with assimilation, anticipatory dissimilation is much more common than lag dissimilation, but unlike assimilation, most dissimilation is triggered by "non" -contiguous segments. en.wikipedia.org

One of the contexts where phonetic dissimilation may take place is where one language borrows a word from another language. en.wikipedia.org
