If you're talking about the chemical root "phe" there are many. Phenolphthalein is probably the most famous, but since you didn't post this question in the chemistry section I'll assume that's not what you're asking for. PHE is a Greek root meaning to speak or be spoken about. Words incorporating this root seem to be few and far between, though there are certainly some out there. Anastrophe is a pattern of speech in which the accepted word order is changed (like saying the creature colossal, instead of the colossal creature). It incorporates the Greek root "phe." Other than that, most English words containing the letter sequence "phe" come from the Greek phen- meaning "to show." This is the root of words like phenomenon.
