Meanwhile, I have a vague memory of previously believing that the {r} should be lightly trilled, but you corrected me, pointing out that TKD said it wasn’t trilled. I don’t have my TKD at hand now, so I can’t check. Now, you suggest that Okrand was wrong when he pronounced {rgh} because he doesn’t trill the {r}.
I don't suggest that. I simply point out that TKD says one thing while Okrand does another. Whether one is right and the other is wrong, or both are right under certain circumstances, or something else is going on, I don't know and can't say. It's okay to say "I don't know." It's the fundamental beginning of science, and linguistics is a science. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
