ʾlp

Common Semitic noun *ʾalp- ‘ox’, first letter of Phœnician ʾāleph ‘ox, leader’, name of the first letter of the Phœnician alphabet, originally formed from the hieroglyph of an ox’s head ().

Also root of Hebrew ʾāleph (א), Arabic ʾalif (ا), Greek alpha (Α, α), and of Latin and Cyrillic A and a, the first letter of their respective alphabets.

Alpha

Alpha denotes ‘beginning’, the Divine Origin of the Cosmos, the Ultimate Source of Life. The Alpha Point of evolution is thus the Datum, denoting the starting point of all creative growth processes, not at some point in the distant past, but right Now, beyond space and time, as the two dimensions of time indicate.
