How about:
Ei, Du, Od, ah, oh, ob, ab, je, Ai (that's an animal), Ar (area of size 100 sqm
(I think...)), As (ace, in a deck of cards), Au (mead), eh, Ur (as in "Urochse",
engl. aurochs), wo
Somewhat questionable:
Go (japanese board game)
Po (river in Italy, as well as coll. for buttock)
German spelling of Greek letters, like "my" (engl. "mu") and "ny" (engl. "nu")
Re (used in a German card games like "Doppelkopf", opposite of "Kontra")
Ra (Egyptian God (God of War???))
ad (Latin, but commonly used, e.g. "ad hoc")
ex (Latin, but commonly used, e.g. "ex und hopp")
ey (ask any Manta driver ;-)
do, mi, fa, la, si (Italian for musical notes (do,re,mi,fa,so,la,si))
When I used to play it, we always had the rule "If you can't find it in the
Duden, it's not allowed as a word". Unfortunately, I don't have a Duden handy
right now...
Have fun!

Try these for 2-letters:
Er, es, in, da, so, an, ja. There's not a lot.
("im" and "am" are contractions, so forget 'em, Scrabble-wise)

I admit I was lazy, but there are relatively few 2-letter words in
German, but lots of 20+!!! (Maybe one should be allowed 17 tiles instead
of 7!)
>Somewhat questionable:

Nope.
>Po (river in Italy, as well as coll. for buttock)
As river, No -- proper noun. As buttock, probably.
>German spelling of Greek letters, like "my" (engl. "mu") and "ny" (engl. "nu")
Nope.
>Re (used in a German card games like "Doppelkopf", opposite of "Kontra")
Nope.
>Ra (Egyptian God (God of War???))
Proper Noun. Amun Ra (or just Ra) was the Egyptian Sun God.
>ad (Latin, but commonly used, e.g. "ad hoc")
>ex (Latin, but commonly used, e.g. "ex und hopp")
Nope. Non-German.
>ey (ask any Manta driver ;-)
>do, mi, fa, la, si (Italian for musical notes (do,re,mi,fa,so,la,si))
Doubtdul.

Pons is better, in my experience. But for those Scrabble ultra-players,
the Duden is probably the safest, just as Webster's 9th is accepted over
the OED in the States.
