The meaning and "use of": guttural
adjective
- (of a speech sound) produced in the throat; harsh-sounding. - It seemed the werewolf was on the verge of talking, but all that escaped its throat was a guttural growl.
- a guttural consonant (e.g., k , g ) or other speech sound. - An obvious reason for this is that English, with all its Celtic gutturals and hard consonants, packs more of a punch when strung together compared to the more languid, Latin-based French.
