Perhaps it could have been the twisting up of the mouth to make the more emphatic -r- sound, but that's just silly speculation
Not necessarily silly, but it should be remembered that it's likely that the /r/ sound wasn't originally pronounced with a twisting up of the mouth but with a flap of the tip of the tongue against the top of the mouth just behind the teeth.
