I don't have a word for "to purr" yet in Carrajena but
there is the onomotopoeia fid-fid-frau which is the
sound of cats fighting or people speaking French.
Piu-piu-tuid-tuid is the sound of birds chirping or of
people speaking Florentine.  I-au or i-hau is the
sound of a donkey braying or of people speaking
English.
