rasps
Speaks with gravel
Rasps is the plural of rasp—a coarse file with raised teeth for shaping wood or metal, or the harsh grating sound such a tool makes.
As a verb, rasps means to scrape with a rasp, or to speak in a rough, grating voice: He rasps out orders through his damaged throat.
Anything that irritates or grates on the nerves also rasps: The constant noise rasps at my patience.
