*Very* lightly trilled!!
Never say it like in spanish "perro"!
(Okrand can't do so ;-)

It's more like a try to roll the {r}

By the way, the {gh} sound is just like the french {r} in "rouge".
{tugh} is exactly pronounced like "tour (de France)"
(rolled on the end of your tongue, almmost where your throat starts.)

Quvar.
