Speaking of digraphs and clusters, what about the pronunciation "dipf-thong,"
where both the p and the ph /f/ are pronounced?

p-f-th, what makes for a terrific sequence of consonants. The best of both
worlds.
How do you describe that?

Epenthetic p plus f, then the evocative "thong"?

Native P plus spelling pronunciation f, then evocative "thong."?
