Hoarse, throaty (5)
I believe the answer is:
gruff
This clue is a double definition.
'hoarse' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'throaty' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for gruff that I've seen before include "Churlish" , "Abrupt in manner - rough and low in pitch" , "Surly -- rough-spoken" , "Hoarse" , "Rough-sounding" .)
