Check the actual setting of your 'isk'. It probably looks like this:
@,48-57,_,192-255

Note, the '@' which means all alphanumeric characters. Therefore,
issuing :set isk-=a won't work (since the 'a' is not included, it can't
be removed). To explicitly remove the 'a', use :set isk+=^a

Read the gory details of the syntax at :h 'isfname'

Please also note, that changing this option is not advised and even if
you do it, you should probably only change it for the current buffer,
e.g. use :setlocal instead of :set.

Best,
Christian
