          They are called consonant digraphs.




          Consonant blends (also called consonant clusters) are groups of two or
          three consonants in words that makes a distinct consonant sound, such
          as "bl" or "spl."



          Consonant digraphs include bl, br, ch, ck, cl, cr,
          dr, fl, fr, gh, gl, gr, ng, ph, pl, pr, qu, sc, sh, sk, sl, sm, sn,
          sp, st, sw, th, tr, tw, wh, wr. Some trigraphs are nth, sch, scr, shr,
          spl, spr, squ, str, thr.



          There are also digraphs that produce a distinct vowel sound. Some
          examples are: ai, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ei, eu, ew, ey, ie, oi, oo, ou,
          ow, oy. (source)

          • Hm, I would still distinguish between some of these, that are just the sounds of the two consonants “flowed together,” as in bl or gr or whatever, while others are distinctly separate (“single”?) sounds different somewhat from the sounds of the constituent letters, as in ch, ng, ph, sh, and th. Would there be a term, perhaps, that is specific to the latter?

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
