Could be -- or maybe you can have both [C] and [x], depending on
whether the following sounds are front or back? For example, [C]

Partial POA assimilation?

  {ephpe}  /eF:e/
  {ephte}  /efte/
  {ephke}  /efke/
  {ethpe}  /eTpe/
  {ethte}  /este/ or /eTte/ ?
  {ethke}  /eSke/
  {ekhpe}  /eCpe/
  {ekhte}  /eCte/
  {ekhke}  /exke/

Some of the above are more dubious to me than others.
