Four New Letters (with Two Dramas)

Here are the two ordinary letters.

Capital	Small	Sounds like
Л	л	l as in left (letter name is “ell”)
П	п	p as in pie (letter name is “peh”)

And here are the dramas!

Drama #1

This is a picture of a violin

Some vicious villian has violently divided the violin in two.

Look at the shape of the violently divided violin.

Here is a Russian letter that looks like the divided violin and has the consonant sound of v in violin: В (its letter name is “veh”)

Drama #2

This is a picture of a surveying instrument on a tripod:

You use the surveying instrument to measure how big your yard is.

Right now you are probably screaming, “Yaaaaaargh. I've never seen anything so stupid or far-fetched.”

It is stupid, but it’s the best I could do to show you something that looks like this Russian vowel which sounds like ya in yacht or yard: Я (its letter name is “ya”).
