And as-sitt, with kasrah: its origin is 'sudus', they changed the last sin to ta' to be closer to the dal before it, and it is also a voiceless letter, just as sin is voiceless, so the estimation became: suddat, and when dal and ta' met and were close in articulation, the dal was replaced by ta' to match it in voicelessness, then the ta' was assimilated into the ta' so it became sitt as you see, so the first change was for approximation without assimilation, and the second for assimilation, and the discussion of that has preceded in sin-ta'-ta'.
