ADD:

One level down from {no'a xi ro} is {no'a xi da'a}, two levels down
is {no'a xi da'a re}, etc.


I'm not so sure about this addition.  I think counting in one way is more
than confusing enough (though it may be that counting down from the top is
easier than up from the bottom).  The Book nor usage seem to exclude this but
I don't want to put it in as recommended or the result of this discussion.
