    Jagged in this case can be understood as zig-zagging between high/strong and low/weak. It does describe [r] well - check the spectrogram that I’ve shared in the other comment, note how it alternates dark bands (louder) and lighter bands (quieter), in a way that [l] or the nearby vowel wouldn’t.
