Please don't hijack standard bu-letterals. :-(
I've already had to fix the letterals for ', w, q and h earlier because
they had non-standard translations.

=E2=80=9Cslaka bu=E2=80=9D is very standard; we should not invent new bu-le=
tterals if
out of thin air if there already is a standard one, it just
increases confusion otherwise. Having a 100% parallel set is of low
priority.
