Final consonant cluster /ŋkθs/

From Teflpedia

/ŋ((k)θ)s/ is a final consonant cluster that occurs in English.

/k/ or /kθ/ are sometimes omitted due to consonant cluster reduction. Removing /k/ reduces it to /ŋθs/, while removing /kθ/ reduces it to /ŋs/.

This occurs in two English words ending in ⟨ng⟩ + ⟨th⟩ + ⟨s⟩; strengths, lengths, and compounds based on them.[1] or genitive case, e.g. strength’s, length’s.
