Is trilling an r indeed that difficult? I think learned to do it in the age 
of 3, but before that it always turned to an 'l' in my mouth. Imagine what
it must have been like not being able to pronounce my own name.

I recall someone complaining about the difficulty of {rgh} some time ago,
too. Once I learned {gh}, I haven't had trouble with it - but perhaps I
do it wrong. Differently from Okrand, anyhow.
