The actual entry reads <xft>, not <xf-t>. 

 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.

I was not home,

and I did it partly from memory.

I agree that the root is x_f_t with three consonants

"face, in front of, etc"

and it actually makes the comparison to CaPuT all the more compelling.

As regards "pot, vessel" it is : x_bb or x_b_x_b (In Budge T1 p.539)

surfacing in Coptic as hpau "vessel, pot"

See Crum p.692 (with hori)

I noticed more than 10 years ago that these two words could account for PIE kap-ut "head" and kap/kup "pot, cup, vessel".
