Greetings,

I am not on the ietf list, but used to read it from archives once a week or 
so.

And lest someone might think that this curiosity of single
character words only applies to vowel sounds, in Russian,
the Cyrillic letter equivalents of v, k and s, are also
single letter words.

For the record, in Polish the single letters "w"(in, inside) "z"(with) 
"u"(at) "i"(and) "o"(about) "e" "a" are all words.
The similar, i.e. single-character words, is true for other slavic 
languages, Latin or Cyrillic scripts alike

Kind regards,
