I figured it was a bilabial trill, but when I played a sound file from the
web it didn't sound the same to me.  I also thought the other was a trill
to, but I didn't know what was used for "tongue and lips", now I know ;).
As far as growl being general I know it is.  Let me try to clarify a
little, when I growl I close my lips and make a rumbling noise deep in my
throat. I can also make the same noise while talking, but I come out
sounding a little like Grover.
