werraaw

Double "r"

Ramon Ames's recording: Though not as distinct in this recording, werraaw "sharp" has a double rr, as in a trilled, Spanish-like "r" as opposed to the single "r" in weraaw "is hot"

Originally, werraaw meaning "is sharp" is expected to have a rolled/trilled "rr", as found in Spanish, whereas weraaw "is hot" contains a single "r" more similar to the American "r". This recording of werraaw does not have a rolled "r", but Cuevas may differentiate by pronouncing differently the vowel in the first syllable of werraaw vs. weraaw.
