... or xc, as in "exception", or xt, as in "extrême". I imagine it
may be similar to s, pronounced /z/ when it is surrounded by two
vowels and /s/ when it is either surrounded by at least one consonant
or doubled. In the same way, x would be pronounced /gz/ when it is
surrounded by two vowels and /ks/ when it is surrounded by at least
one consonant.
Hope I'm not boring non-French speakers to death!
