ahh, so it could be used as a snarl/growl like a dog makes when it is threatening to do harm to whomever it is growling at.  bacru makes sense to me in that sense then since bacru always gave me the impression of emphasizing the fact that you're making sound, not necessarily that you're communicating with language.

Do you think there's a place for an x4 for what provoked the capsidba'u?  If not, how would you express that?

You are right to question it, Pierre.  I forgot about the gloss.  One of
reasons that beings growl or snarl is to threaten or initimidate.  So the
gloss here should have been:

growl; make threatening sound
