FTft
FT End Blend
FT at the end of a syllable blends /f/ and /t/ together, like in 'left', 'soft', and 'gift'.
How this rule works
FT is an end blend where the voiceless /f/ flows into the voiceless stop /t/. Both teeth-and-lip /f/ and tongue-tap /t/ are heard.
Remember: FT lifts at the end — left, soft, gift!
