FWIW, I'm fairly sure nobody uses such lists in Hebrew, precisely for
the reason Bert Bos points out: it would be confusing.  If the 11th
letter were כ, then to me that would look like the list had skipped
from 10 to 20.  It's possible such lists are used occasionally in
Israel -- I'm an American Jew and wouldn't know -- but I doubt it.

Why are ordered lists with alphabetic item numbers related to
alphabetized lists with no item numbers?
