Pat, can I buy a consonant?

You know how on Wheel of Fortune the contestants buy vowels? Well, over here you need to buy consonants. There are so many vowels in some of these town and street names and all are pronounced individually.

For example, Ka'a'a'wa is one of the towns we drove through. Or Aeia and Leia two other towns that we saw signs for. When you work through them, they sound quite beautiful.
