In most cases the listener could easily infer what letter is meant (especially since the speaker would presumably pronounce that letter consistently wherever it appears). In extreme cases it may be necessary to ask "wait, what is that sound you keep making?" :) ----- At which point they will look at you blankly,. until you say, "ta'a .i ki'a ta'e bacru be fa do ma" ;-) -gejyspa
