  We re-analyze D8 brane embeddings in the geometry of a D4 brane wrapped on a
circle that describe chiral symmetry breaking in a strongly coupled
non-supersymmetric gauge theory. We argue that if the holographic fields are
correctly interpreted, the original embeddings describe a complex quark mass
and condensate in the theory. We show that in this interpretation when a quark
mass is present there is a massive pseudo Goldstone boson (pion). A previously
identified massless fluctuation is, we argue, not a physical state in the field
theory. We also determine the behaviour of the quark condensate as a function
of the quark mass.
