In short vowel sounds, the "name" of the letter is not heard, as it is in "long" vowel sounds. They are

short A (ah) - cat, apple

short E (eh) - best, web

short I (ih) - fit, wish

short O (aah) - hot, sob

short U (uh) - cut, run

Other A sounds are used with an R, other O sounds have an OI or an OW sound. There is also a short OO sound that is heard in foot, good, full, and similar words.
