Most of these sounds cut off quickly to increase the effect. The "M" forces you to close your mouth cutting off the sound in a similar manner.

The "R" is presumably because these sound also tend to have a rolling sound to them (reverb?). Think brrr or purr.

You could probably say something like PREEEB with similar effect though.
