The Phonetic Game

There are endless possibilities in English to create letter plays and word games. Here is one such game based on the phonetic sounds of the English alphabets.

Take the case of ESSAR, a well known Indian business group with diverse interests. Not many know that the name of the group is derived from the initials of the two Ruia brothers who founded the company - Shashi and Ravi. Elder brother Shashi's 'S' became 'ESS' and Ravi's 'R' became 'AR' based on the how one would write the phonetic sound of the two letters. And, they came together to become 'ESSAR'.

There are many examples like Essar, but the game today is not to find such examples, but  to identify those words that sound like letters of the English alphabet. For example,

the word 'Bee' sounds like the alphabet 'B'.

How many proper English words can you add to this list that sound exactly like its alphabets?
