A \A\ (named [be] in the English, and most commonly [84] in       other languages).       The first letter of the English and of many other alphabets.       The capital A of the alphabets of Middle and Western Europe,       as also the small letter (a), besides the forms in Italic,       black letter, etc., are all descended from the old Latin A,       which was borrowed from the Greek {Alpha}, of the same form;       and this was made from the first letter ([?]) of the       Ph[d2]nician alphabet, the equivalent of the Hebrew Aleph,       and itself from the Egyptian origin. The Aleph was a       consonant letter, with a guttural breath sound that was not       an element of Greek articulation; and the Greeks took it to       represent their vowel Alpha with the [84] sound, the       Ph[d2]nician alphabet having no vowel symbols. This letter,       in English, is used for several different vowel sounds. See       Guide to pronunciation, [sect][sect] 43-74. The regular long       a, as in fate, etc., is a comparatively modern sound, and has       taken the place of what, till about the early part of the       17th century, was a sound of the quality of [84] (as in far).          2.

ALEF          A programming language from {Bell Labs}.   ALEF       boasts few new ideas but is instead a careful synthesis of       ideas from other languages.   The result is a practical general       purpose programming language which was once displacing {C} as       their main implementation language.   Both {shared variables}       and {message passing} are supported through language       constructs.          A {window system}, {user interface}, {operating system}       network code, {news reader}, {mailer} and variety of other       tools in {Plan 9} are now implemented using ALEF.          (1997-02-13)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
aleph 0          The {cardinality} of the first {infinite}       {ordinal}, {omega} (the number of {natural numbers}).          Aleph 1 is the cardinality of the smallest {ordinal} whose       cardinality is greater than aleph 0, and so on up to aleph       omega and beyond.   These are all kinds of {infinity}.          The {Axiom of Choice} (AC) implies that every set can be       {well-ordered}, so every {infinite} {cardinality} is an aleph;       but in the absence of AC there may be sets that can't be       well-ordered (don't posses a {bijection} with any {ordinal})       and therefore have cardinality which is not an aleph.          These sets don't in some way sit between two alephs; they just       float around in an annoying way, and can't be compared to the       alephs at all.   No {ordinal} possesses a {surjection} onto       such a set, but it doesn't surject onto any sufficiently large       ordinal either.          (1995-03-29)
