Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone. A dead one gets the high tone with a short vowel and the falling tone with a long one. Marks: ◌่ → falling, ◌้ → high.
Kai says
ญ is named after หญิง, yǐng, woman. The word starts with a silent ห, which moves the syllable into the high class and gives it a rising tone.
