garra

/ˈɡara/ · B2 · noun · f

claw

garra — claw

🐾🦅 GARRA starts with a growl, GRR, the sound of an animal about to use its claws

Both r sounds roll, so the word itself growls. Extra meanings: caer en las garras de alguien means to fall into someone's clutches, and tener garra means to have grit or fighting spirit.
