Best Answer

The sound "r" is quite rare in native American languages,which seem to prefer the "l" sound (closely related to r).The vocabularies recorded by early English explorers for the Powhatan tribe give the following words:

raragcun or rarowcun (Powhatan) "racoon"

renapoaks (Powhatan) "true men" - the Powhatan name for themselves

righcomough (Powhatan) "death"

rawcusowgh (Powhatan) "day"
