"Isn't it horrible?" said Andrew, with a look of disgust in his flushed face. "Horrible! I thought it the grandest sight I have ever seen. What do you mean by horrible?" "This guttural chattering of the people. Why, you can hardly hear an English word spoken. It's all double Dutch, till I feel as if my teeth were set on edge." "Nonsense! Good chance to learn German." "I'd rather learn Hottentot.
"Woe on you, mothers of nothing! May the scourge of Allah flay you as you go!" The mother of Iskender held the doorway of her little house in a posture of spitting defiance. Rancour, deep-rooted and boundless, ranged in her guttural snarl.
Suddenly there were bayonets on the stairs the clatter of heavy feet alien faces on the threshold. Then a bomb flew, and the terrible crash cleared the stairs. Twice more the clatter came with the clank of bayonets and guttural cries; but both died out in the infernal roar of the grenades exploding inside that stony spiral. And no more bayonets flickered on the stairs.
He sprang about, jumped from one corner to another, knocked his stomach, his back, his shoulder, rolled over, and picked himself up again. His bones seemed softened, his flesh had a sound like damp oakum. He accompanied this pretty game with atrocious threats, and wild and guttural cries.

Hua and Gua are often inchanged by the Spaniards in the names of places in America, probably from the g having a guttural sound, or strong aspiration.
Fortunately, it missed its aim, and she stood for a moment irresolute at the door, while her uncle, without looking at her, continued to rail at his much-enduring domestic, whom he was accustomed to manage by swearing at and flattering in turns. His voice was a guttural rumbling, which seemed to come from some cavernous bronchial depths. "Ain't the little gel come yet?"

On the other hand, the tiny worms are not able or at least do not know how to dig through the integument with their pair of guttural harpoons, to rend it and reach the liquefiable flesh. The newborn lack strength and, above all, purpose.
While I was telling my story he was following every movement of the shepherd. Suddenly he held up one finger. I turned. It was Queen. A low growl, guttural and suspicious.
