Heres a link that will help you answer such questions. You can not only find words that begin with certain letters, but words that contain letters, end with letters or strings of letter (more than one letter next to eachother. With some practice you can also find words that contain 4 or more of a particular letter, etc.

Yo is quite common, as is ya. You might own a yate if you're rich enough, in which case perhaps you live in a big old house with yedra growing on it, and you may also have a stable beside your house with a yegua in it. They say horses only eat hay, but I knew one that enjoyed the occasional yema. If you're only rich because you married into money, then your mother's probably very happy with her yerno, unless he looks like a yeti, in which case maybe he should do some yoga and eat plenty yogur... wink

Only because I found it by posting in another thread, "yugular" = jugular, as in jugular vein.

Ya - Already. Yacente - Recumbent (I think). Yate - Yacht. Yegua - Horse Mare. Yelmo - Helmet. Yo - I.

These are the words most commonly used.
