It's just (presumably) CC-, assuming pf and sh are digraphs representing a single sound rather than two individual sounds next to one another. Like Pfalzgraff. I don't know if it's a real German word or not, but it is a pottery company whose name around here is pronounced [(pf)altsgraf] where [(pf)] is simultaneously articulated. So I can easily see pfsh as a legit consonant cluster, as in pfshueststett. Padraic.
