"Some words in English use (capital) letters to describe the shape of the object to which they refer: A-frame, C-clamp, I-beam, O-ring, T-shirt, T-intersection, T-bone, U-turn, V-neck [...]"
Also, Polish has an amusing variety of beams named after letter shapes (teownik, ceownik, zetownik, dwuteownik which IMO should rather be haownik but sadly isn't).
