Droll! ;)  No, I probably shouldn't've used that comparison.  My |rr| is used
for a voiced trill at-the-back-of-the-throat using the-back-of-the-tongue -
which is where I've always heard |r| of |rio| in Brazilian Portuguese as
being, kind of like the sound of |ch| in |achtung baby!| - though I could be
wrong.  In fact, I probably am wrong ... ;)

But that's not the p|rr|oblem, is it?  <8-()
