This is the letter 'B'. Pronounced 'buh', as in 'baseball' or 'brain'.
This letter appears less frequently than other consonants due to it's unorthodox sound as an aquatic vocalization. It is the first letter in the word 'Bano', meaning 'still creature'. This, of course, is in reference to plant-life, though in days before serious biological study of their environment, many other immobile animals also fell into this category, just as several articulatory plants were not considered such.
You can see how it closely resembles a length of seaweed or other plant, sprouting at the side.
