What is the correct placement of names and types in the typedef syntax?

Question

Usually the syntax of typedef is as follows

typedef <existing_name> <new_name>

But in the following case, I am bit confused

  typedef char yes[1];
  typedef char no[2];

This above seems to work. Why and how?

Shouldn't this be written as below?

  typedef yes char[1];
  typedef no char[2];
