Students still seem engaged on the course and there is plenty of useful discussion occurring. I am trying to encourage and support by making my presence felt. There was one unusual reply to a message I posted - "yah". I find it hard to interpret.

Yah's good! As only a fraction of any audience bothers to comment at least this person is on the cusp of engagement. Encouragement with a four or five letter reply?!

I wonder whether it was a mistyping of "yes". It was also a reply to a message of mine replying to someone else so it could have been replying to them.
You are right that it suggests at least some engagement.
