Maybe "lerpoipo'i": ko'a porpi ko'e noi porsi lo lerfu

zo broda lerpoipo'i by ce'o ry ce'o .obu ce'o dy ce'o .abu

The pronoun "by" is not the name of the letter B, but it can well be
used to refer to the letter B since whatever its name is in Lojban, if
it has one, it probably begins with B.

Another maybe more practical option is:

zo broda lerpoipo'i by ry .obu dy .abu

where the pronoun "by ry .obu dy .abu" is used to refer to the letter
sequence B, R, O, D, A. It's unlikely that this pronoun will ever be
used to refer to anything else.

  Personally, my philosophy on a lujvo for spelling would be more based on "ganzu", rather than "porsi", for the simple reason that spelling is usually agential in nature...
