I think we need to be more specific. Rendaku is also "Japanese sandhi".

the explanation is far too drawn out and encyclopedic.  the note is perhaps passable, but i think the definition itself may suffice

  Comments:
As per WP and dicts, this refers specifically to the Japanese phenomenon (sandhi/liaison) (general term for sandhi/liaison is 連音).
This is an unfamiliar and technical phenomenon (found it in dictionary when looking up 親王 and previously seen it in 反応), so I thought it worth an explanation (plus note so can have a Japanese example).
