Yellow fill = Lying Spelling "an" should be "en"
Green fill = Reduced Spelling "o" should be "uo" | "iu" should be "iou" | "ui" should be "uei"
Light blue fill = Lazy Spelling "e" should be "ie" | "u" should be "ü"
Blue text = 1st variation, back of mouth, rolled tongue (juǎn shé), "i" sounds much like the "ir" of "bird"
Red text = 2nd variation, front of mouth, "i" sounds a little like the "i" of "hit" (but not really)
