I'm not sure that these letters are specified in the book. In ch. 7 of 'A Voyage to Brobdingnag' it simply says ' . . . their alphabet, which consists only of two-and-twenty.' It appears also that this alphabet was different to ours; in ch. 2 Gulliver says 'I had learned their alphabet' ~ presumably there are no direct equivalents in the letters.

On reflection I agree entirely - thanks for your suggestion.
