Notice that it is only used twice in the whole text, whereas the capital
letter variables appear a lot more times, so it is not quite the
same as tau.

In the above text, {nau} is used. Presumably that {nau} is {na'a}'s
ancestor.

It may be reasonable, but the usage in question assumes the effect
lasts indefinitely, or at least for much longer than the lerfu string.
Otherwise, almost every variable there should be preceded by {ce'a fy ga'e}.
