This is perhaps a rather fruitless argument (if it is one :p); in my
phonetic opinion, it would typically be articulated, in narrow
transcription, [t_h{nJa]; I'd suppose the +nasal quality would persist
throughout (and probably smear onto the preceding [{] vowel too, according
to the phonetics I've read).
