So basically a raspberry?  <G>  The raspberry fricative.Here's another one,
along the lines of the aspirated trilled r:
Can you make an aspirated uvular trill?  Some Germans I
know can really trill the "r" of _Rauheit_ in the back of their
throat like a veritable motor.  I can do it better if it's voiceless.
How would that be represented?

Hee hee hee... I can do that only behind the back of my lower teeth,Adam,
but it has never been audible enough for such purposes!
What about whistling through your teeth?  That might be an
interesting sound.
