syllabic r (Score:0)
I guess the 'r' acts as a syllable itself, though. "errrrrh"
I wonder what all in English is difficult for non-English speakers. I'm sure the 'r' sound is, for one, as that seems to differ in a lot of languages (English (even American vs. British can be different), French (who sometimes approximate English 'r' with a 'w'), German (trills), Spanish (like a soft 'd'), Czech ("rzh" as in Dvorak), Chinese (a mixture of l and r) that I can think of all have different 'r' sounds).

Too bad it isn't more like "arrrrrrrr" because the pirates would have found the perfect language then.
