Re: [tied] Re: uvular R

In Terry Crowley's "An Introduction to Historical Linguistics" there's a
chart of phonetical symbols.
The vibrant sounds showed are:
alveolar flap: an odd symbol, like a "I" with a little hook in the tip.
retroflex flap: a "r" with an appendix denoting retroflexion
alveolar trill : the usual "r"
retroflex glide : an upside-down "r"

this chart doesnt shows the uvular r, but in the book it's depicted as an
upside-down "R".
