~Yeshuewu

How come you can't figure this out.  A "Spanish r" sometimes has a single trill or multiple trill made by flipping the tongue upward to the top gums to make these sounds.  Likewise a k-trill does some "flipping" with the soft velum contacting the back of the tongue.  This can be singl, multiple, or aspirated.

You are clueless here?
