Yes and no....
/_/ is an unreleased stop as in the word:  [k_h}t_]
But notice that it also indicates aspiration in [k_h].
Unreleased stops in English occur at the end of the word. In Tristan's example,
[hQt_}dQg_}], I'm not quite sure why the } is there. To me, } represents a
front unround vowel..and I'm probably missing features here, I didn't really
pay that close attention to vowels when we went over them in my Linguistics
Class last semester. :(
