Letter Names?

When one spells a word in English, one says "Kay, El, Aye..." instead of
using the actual phonetic sounds ("kkk, lll, eeh..."). How can one refer to
a specific Klingon letter? For example, how would a hypothetical 1st-grade
teacher pronounce (not write) the sentence "{b} as in {batlh}"?
 
By the way, am I correct in assuming that the general term for a letter is
{Degh} or {pIqaD Degh}? (The latter might also refer to punctuation signs?)
