We report evidence for the exclusive two-body charmless hadronic B meson decay B{yields}{eta}{sup '}{pi}, and improved measurements of B{yields}{eta}{sup '}K. The results are obtained from a data sample of 386x10{sup 6} BB pairs collected at the {upsilon}(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. We measure B(B{sup +}{yields}{eta}{sup '}{pi}{sup +})=[1.76{sub -0.62}{sup +0.67}(stat){sub -0.14}{sup +0.15}(syst)]x10{sup -6} and B(B{sup 0}{yields}{eta}{sup '}{pi}{sup 0})[2.79{sub -0.96}{sup +1.02}(stat){sub -0.34}{sup +0.25}(syst)]x10{sup -6}. We also find the ratio of (B(B{sup +}{yields}{eta}{sup '}K{sup +})/B(B{sup 0}{yields}{eta}{sup '}K{sup 0}))=1.17{+-}0.08(stat){+-}0.03(syst) and measure the direct CP asymmetries for the charged modes.
