5. VHLA - On the audio, this sounds like it’s stepping up in tone. Like maybe something like “quick2-quick32’. Definitely going uphill. But doesn’t both “no” and “not” have a different downhill tone? I hear “vhla” as a ‘long4-quick2’. For reference, listen to Ed say it multiple times in this video from about 34:42 to 35:57. https://youtu.be/RikNifUTETQ Also, the one at 10:20 sounds to me like “ahla”, like it’s saying something’s laying there, not “vhla” / “no”.
Ok, that is probably me hearing v̀:hla (low-fall) and not v́:hla (high) resulting in a bad transcription. I'll generate and share a new audio sample with the v́:hla and we can see how that sounds.
