gnar or gnarr (NAHR) - v., to snarl, to growl.
Also, as noun, in extreme sports, snow or a wave or other thing that is gnarly, but that's unrelated. This gnar goes back to Old English gnyrran, though many dictionaries obscure this by claiming it's imitative -- though cognates in German and Dutch make it clear that, even if so, it's an old, old imitation.
