Could you please provide more information about how you're using "a"?
For example:
* "A" as an indefinite article: If you're looking for a synonym for "a" in the sense of "one" or "any," then "an" could work.
* "A" as part of a phrase: "A lot" could be replaced with "many" or "much."
* "A" as a prefix: "Atypical" could be replaced with "uncommon" or "unusual."
Let me know the context, and I can give you a more helpful answer!
