Based on the decription of the movement: pres*S*ure or *R*ose

The blade of the tongue is retracted from the alveolar ridge and held close to the hard palate; there is turbulence or friction. The vocal folds vibrate.'

Is 'S' in 'pres*S*ure' or 'R' in '*R*ose' representing the movement?

Indeed, I am struggling it is S or R presenting the retraction.

thanks!
