 * I think "nn-nn" was probably meant, but that is generally used in speech (although the mouth isn't usually open when it is being uttered). How attestable even is this? Tharthan (talk)
 * Looking at eg., I can find a few uses where it means "mmm" (yum) and a few where it might be an expression of "no" or "yes" but it's not always obvious which, e.g. here. - -sche (discuss) 21:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * In the dialogue from the Task Listening Teacher's Book it is clearly the same as . Fiona is letting Jackie know that she is still with her; it means the same as “yes, go on”. --Lambiam 01:32, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Like I said, though, [ˈ(ʔ)m̩.ʔm̩] and [ˈ(ʔ)n̩.ʔn̩] can be in free variation to some extent. Whether "nn-nn" (which is common at least where I live, although I was under the impression that it was quite common, especially in North America) is written as "nn-nn" or "mm-mm" seems arbitrary (because it usually isn't written at all, for obvious reasons).
