You should write \alph{cntr} to get the lowercase latin letter value of cntr.

The other similar commands are

  • \alph{cntr} (lowercase latin)
  • \Alph{cntr} (uppercase latin)
  • \roman{cntr} (lowercase roman numeral)
  • \Roman{cntr} (uppercase roman numeral)
  • \arabic{cntr} (classical decimal numeral)
