You want a normalized table anyhow. If you want something
denormalized, use a view.

This is better as:
CREATE TABLE phone (
cod VARCHAR,
num VARCHAR,
PRIMARY KEY(cod, num)
);
CREATE TABLE person (
name varchar,
PRIMARY KEY(name)
)
CREATE TABLE person_phone (
name VARCHAR NOT NULL REFERENCES person(name),
cod VARCHAR,
num VARCHAR,
FOREIGN KEY(cod, num) REFERENCES phone(cod, num),
PRIMARY KEY(name, cod, num)
);
