[ti] exists nowadays (written with {te} followed by little {i}) in
gairaigo (words of non-Chinese foreign origin) terms.  And -tic would be
rendered as -tikku.  Final stops are always rendered as geminates.

Again, {fa} and {fi} exist in more recent loans ({fu} plus little
{a}/{i})

-ism is borrowed as -izumu
