a. Excuse me. Could you tell me where the enohp is?
b. What's an 'enohp'?
a. An 'enohp' is a 'phone', only the other way round.
It's rough translation of mine of a dialogue from a classical Soviet film. I'm just curious, how the underlined part would sound in English. Would it be natural/comprehensible to the native speakers here? If not, what would you expect to see/hear there? Maybe 'from back to front'?
