Uniquely Teochew "A"

There a number of uniquely Teochew characters and words and I do not think I can put all of these in one post. I have therefore decided to put them in sections. This is the first post of many which will list our uniquely Teochew characters and words. Some of the sounds we make have no characters such as ia6 to piggyback and we will deal with this when we get to "i". Some of our characters do not have simplified encoded form and I will therefore just use the traditional characters. 

I am sure there are others which I have missed and if you know of them please share in the comments section.
