1. a al'-fah
of Hebrew origin; the first letter of the alphabet; figuratively, only (from its use as a numeral) the first:
- --Alpha. Often used (usually an, before a vowel) also in composition (as a contraction from 427) in the sense of privation; so, in many words, beginning with this letter; occasionally in the sense of union (as a contraction of 260).
