C  czar

G  Gila
J  jualapeno
K  know
M  mnemonic
(o..ov?)
O  ouija

Q  quiche
T  tzar
X  xenon
Y  Ypsilanti

if anyone is interested, give me a word!

While not exactly trying to be a phonetic alphabet, this article
reminded me of a bit of doggerel I learned from my parents
(I only remember a bit of the bit)

A is for 'orses
B is for 'oney
C is for sailors
