to rattle in the throat – WehrCowan1976
conc
▪ The sound of a ‘rattle in the throat’ is not only expressed by ¹karra but also by the reduplicated stem ↗²karkara (also ‘to rumble’, said of the stomach, and ‘to murmur’, said of running water); as onomatopoetic imitations of a certain type of sounds, ¹karra and ²karkara are also close to ↗ǧarǧara ‘to gargle, rumble, clatter’ and ↗ġarġara ‘to gargle, gurgle, simmer, bubble’. With such meanings, the root is attested in Ar and EthSem (see DRS #KRR-9) and classified by Leslau among roots expressing « la voix ».1
▪ Is this value somehow related to that of ↗KRː (KRR)_2 ‘returning, repetition’, given the repetitive notion in the vibrations of rattling, rumbling, murmuring, etc.?
