The actual front page for this search is at

The actual entry reads <xft>, not <xf-t>. In view of such
pairs as <xftj> 'Feind' ~ <xftj.t> 'Feindin', <nxn> 'Kind' ~
<nxn.t> 'kleines Mädchen', <xnms> 'Freund' ~ <xnms.t>
'Freundin', etc., it appears that the feminine marker is
written <.t>, and that <xft> 'Gesicht' is therefore *not*
intended to be read as containing the feminine suffix.
For <xf> the Beinlich list gives 'sehen', 'etwas erhellen',
and '(= {xftj}) Feind'.
