Digraph blend

Digraph blend - three or more consecutive consonants coming together in a word where two of the consonants make a diagraph that is inseparable and spell one phoneme and which is preceded or followed by another consonant that is blended with the digraph. For example, in the word throat ‘th’ is a digraph and the ‘r’ which follows it is blended: /th//r/
