Makes asinine utterances (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'makes' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'asinine utterances' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brays that I've seen before include "Cries of a donkey" , "Sounds like ass!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
