The tone representation at 7:30 (the word on the right) is wrong. It should show a falling tone, not rising.

Thanks for the videos, btw... I love them!

Naa is falling, both pronounced and spelled. Transliteration is never to be taken seriously.

Good video! I'm still swimming through the sea of confusion here but I can see that this video sheds some light on it. I just need to watch it a few more times to get my head wrapped around it.
