    These came from a sort of “this sounds like” alphabet. Like if you wanted to write D but drew a picture of a dog, because that starts with a D sound. Or when someone on the phone says “A as in Adam.”

    So the word for dude with a tiny hat started with an R sound, just like the word for the A sounded like an A sound.
