<pf> and <kx> are not affricates. The articulation points for [p] and
[f] are different, and same for [k] and [S]. <ts> and <dj> may be. The
point being whether Ceqli considers this to be a single unit or not. In
English, /tS/ is a single unit, but /ts/ wouldn't be because it's not a
single phonemic unit.
