Whitney: The [Sanskrit] 'r' is clearly shown by its influence in the euphonic processes of the language to be a lingual sound, or one made with the tip of the tongue turned up into the dome of the palate. It thus resembles the English smooth 'r', and, like this, seems to have been *untrilled*. [emph. add.]
a. The Paninean scheme reckons 'r' as a lingual. None of the praatishaakyas, however, does so; nor are they entirely consistent with one another in its description. For the most part they define it as made at "the roots of the teeth". This would give it a position like that of the vibrated 'r'; but no authority hints at a vibration as belonging to it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
