The ordinary one-syllable pattern applies: raw simply adds -er, though more raw is also available. The comparative carries every sense of the base word. Fish can be rawer, and so can a chafed knee or a new recruit. In music writing it praises the rough and unpolished, as when CD Review in 1994 credits stripped-down guitars and drums with a "rawer, demolike feel."
