I feel like that would only make sense if there was a vowel between the two that was a u or similar vowel, so it would really be more “fig-otus.” That said, I’m with @[email protected] in thinking it should definitely be a voiceless pharyngeal fricative. Wikipedia offers the h in horrible as an example, and in french (our instance’s other primary language), the r in faire.
Technically, yeah, but that’s much harder to pronounce.
