1902, Hirano, Hidekichi, “第一節 父音の分類 [Section 1: Types of Consonants]”, in 國語聲音學 [The Phonetics of the National Language], 國光社, pages 78–79:顫動音は、實は摩擦音の一種である。空氣が口腔の一狹窄門を通過する際に、局部に著しい顫動を生ずるによつて發する音である。ラ行音が之に屬する。卽ちラ行音は、聲帶の顫動に成りたる聲が、懸壅垂を刺戟して、之を振動し、一の顫音を生ずるのである。此顫音が、更に舌頭と口蓋との狹窄門に摩擦せられて、ラ行音は成り立つものである。- Sendōon wa, jitsu wa masatsuon no isshu de aru.

- Trills are actually a type of fricatives. They are caused by significant vibrations at places of articulation where air passes through a constriction in the oral cavity. The sounds of the ra-row are trills. Specifically for the ra-row, phonation starts with vibrations at the vocal folds, then stimulates the uvula and shakes it, making a vibrating sound. This sound further undergoes friction at the constriction formed by the blade of the tongue and the palate, resulting in a sound of the ra-row.
