Why do words in reverse sound weird (lemmy.world)

By words in reverse, I actually mean the entire word reverse pronounced and not just the letters rearranged. Best example is when you reverse a video, pronunciation of every letter in every word reverses.

Is it because instead of blowing out the air, we're breathing in? Are there any papers related to it? I'm interested to read
