But then he's like, hold up, if you really zero in, you can
tell apart [[a⊣]] (advanced), [[a⊢]] (retracted), and [[a⊥]]
(raised). He drops some examples that'll make your ears perk up:

  In addition to the [[a]], so there are four "micro-phones"
  (my wording).

mirra, caña, alto, and junta.

  Raised in "mirra" and at the end of "caña" and "junta".

  Advanced in the first syllable of "caña".

  Retracted in "alto".

  And two "normal" [[a]] are found in "asignar".
