HIDDEN SYMB⊕LS in the ALPHABET
Why is A the first letter of the alphabet?
A hard-working, plough-pulling ox may have been the original inspiration of the letter "A". In ancient times, cattle were the most important form of wealth. Cattle provided milk, meat, and power to plow fields. They were a standard of beauty and perfection, and associated with the gods. This first letter of the alphabet evolved from the Proto-Semitic "aleph", when meant "ox", and was shaped like its head and horns. "Ah" meant ox in Egyptian. Like many letters, "A" has been rotated over the course of time. It is now upside-down from where it started. An ox head is the first letter of the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet.
The letter deserves to be first because it represents the first act of the agricultural year: breaking ground, turning the soil, and planting seeds. The letter A has the shape of both the head of the ox, and the plow or harrow used to till the ground. In ancient times, the ox was sometimes sacrificed for a religious ritual, or divided to seal a solemn oath. Thus, the letter A is an appropriate start for the alphabet because it represents the hard work, commitment, and sacrifice of those who laid the foundations, and were first to accomplish something in history.

Why is A the first letter of the alphabet? This is an enduring mystery. At present, the letters of the alphabet are viewed as arbitrary shapes in a random order, passed down by tradition. However, in elements of the writing system, we find that the stages of human civilization are commemorated. A is the horned head of the auroch pursued by the hunter-gatherer, and the ox which plowed the fields of the first farms. B represents building and houses, and G the gates of the first city states.

ACRE: OX DAY. A day's work for an ox. An ancient word for the area of land that an ox can plow in one day (22 x 220 sq yards). AKH = ox, RE = sun / day (Egyptian hieroglyphs)
AGRICULTURE: From Latin ager piece of land. Theory of Celeste Horner is that the word derives from the Egyptian akh (ox) re (sun, a day). The meta-linguistics of r is a recurved claw or finger: rake, engrave, scratch, groove. Letter R is also associated with rows, order, rank. R is the rump, the rear end of an horse, ox, dog, or other animal. 2022-10-15
AGRICULTURE: Meta {OX (Egyptian) akh. RE (Egyptian) sun, day. CUL: collect, cull. Çla; scythe, harvest. TERRE (French) terrain, land. TA (Egyptian) land}
A: an ox head. B: the ox yoke. G: Γ the plow. D. bed, or mound of dirt, land, ground. e: seed. F: leaf.
Oxen are very strong; they can pull their own weight. A team can pull 12,000 lbs (Lancaster farming). They are intelligent enough to learn commands to turn right "gee" and "haw" left. They can manage a swimming movement to get them through mud and snow. They don't require special food. They can live 20 years. Stronger than horses, they are preferred animals for pulling heavy wagons.
Oxford English Dictionary, "Acre" Entry 2a.: ACRE. A measure of land area that a yoke of oxen could plough in one day.
"A measure of land area, originally as much as a yoke of oxen could plough in a day, later defined by English statute as an area 220 yards (40 poles) long by 22 yards (4 poles) broad (equal to 4,840 square yards, 4 roods, or approx. 4,047 square metres), or its equivalent of any shape."

A hard-working, plough-pulling ox may have been the original inspiration of the letter A. The alphabet developed in Egypt around 1800 B.C. as a simplified pictographic writing system for the working class and illiterate who did not have the extensive education required to read Egyptian hieroglyphs like the elites and professional scribes. The first three letters reflect the world of the working man -- domestication of cattle and agriculture, baking bricks and building houses, and the axe of a carpenter or boat builder, pole of a fisherman, flail of a charioteer, and especially the pick of miner. It evolved from the Proto-Semitic aleph, when meant ox, and was shaped like its head and horns. Like many letters, it has been rotated over the course of time. The letter deserves to be first because it represents the first act of the agricultural year: breaking ground, turning the soil, and planting seeds. The letter A has the shape of both the head of the ox, and the plow or harrow used to till the ground. In ancient times, the ox was sometimes sacrificed for a religious ritual, or divided to seal a solemn oath. Thus, the letter A represents the hard work, commitment, and sacrifice of those who laid the foundations, and were first to accomplish something in history.

Ante means before in Latin. From this comes antechamber (a front room), ante-Deluvian (before the Flood), and antebellum (before the war), avant (before in French), and antes (before in Spanish). An ante in poker is a bet placed before cards are dealt.
The letters of the alphabet represent a sequence. They tell a story. "A" addresses the dangling loose ends, the often perplexing philosophical question of what happened before the beginning.

The letter A represents an antecedant. Before the Book, there was an Author. Before the Building, there was an Architect. Before the Baby, there was Attraction and Amor. Before we speak, first we must breathe. The vocal cords open to form an A-shape in order to accept air.

Aah was the Egyptian word for ox. This animal worked hard tilling the ground, and also served as a sacred sacrificial animal. Thus Aleph, meaning ox in Hebrew represents the hard work and sacrifices which went into the foundation of the present time. It reminds us of the hard work and sacrifices of those who went before.
A is an arrow pointing up. One reason that an up-pointing A means before is that whether you are reading English or Chinese, the words that are above come before those below. The sequence is top down, the direction of falling water.
The letter A may have evolved from the Ah (Egyptian hieroglyph) Aleph (Proto-Sinaitic, Hebrew), the ancient word for the ox that pulled the plow. This resonantes with other words for bovines: aleph, Apis, auroch, and angus.

The alphabet developed around 1900 B.C., when Egyptian hieroglyphs were standard for communication among elites, priests, and scholars. But then a gnarly band of immigrant turquoise miners went into a cave in Egypt, and in addition to semi-precious gems, emerged with the treasure of a new pictographic way of writing that even mostly illiterate people could understand. There were only about 20 characters to learn, instead of the hundreds in the hieroglyphic system of the Egyptians.
Perhaps there was a wise oracle in the cave. Perhaps there was a genious in the ranks of the miners, or perhaps a social engineering do-gooder among the overseers of the mine. We may never know. But whoever inspired the language revolution, seeded modern language and changed the world forever.
In the earliest alphabet-like writing systems such as Proto-Sinaitic, Paleo Hebrew, and Phoenician, the first letter, Aleph, was shaped like the horned head of the strong ox that pulled the plough. Aleph symbolizes preparation for agriculture: Before you plant, you plow.

Because the aleph ox was associated with strength and virility, the word abba,
Father arises from the idea of the alpha male. The letter A represents the aroused phallus
of the father, and we will find that B depicts the breasts of the mother. (Bra, bosom, ribs, bubbles, breathing) So A and B
represent the C cuddling and coupling that leads the the cradle of the child. D is the dome-shaped domiciles or hut.

The alphabet evolved from earlier writing systems such as Proto-Sinaitic, Phoenician, and Paleo Hebrew, in which the first letter was Aleph, the head of the plow pulling ox. Again, Aleph is an antecedant: Before you plant, you plow.
The word alphabet, originally aleph bet, commemorates a great cultural shift in human civilization. Great-grandpa and grandma might have been a cave-dwelling, migratory, hunter-gatherers, but the cool new thing in junior's generation was to live in a man-made house, build cities, and practice settled agriculture.
The first two letters of the alphabet stand as a proud testament to an agricultural idea of progress. The letter Aleph depicts both a ground tilling adze, and the horned head of the Aleph ox which pulled the plow. The letter Bet meant house, and traced the floor plan of a reed hut, or simple rectangular house with an open door.

In the world's earliest alphabets such as Proto-Sinaitic and Proto-Hebrew, the first letter of the alphabet is Aleph, the ox.

Å not only depicts the flow away from a point, egg, or nest of origin; it also addresses the puzzling philosophical question of what happened before the beginning.
Ancient, ancestor, anterior, and antique. All of these are examples of things that preceded the current time or generation. A is the antecedent. Before the Book, there was an Author. Before the Building, there was an Architect. Before the Baby, there was Amor.
The letter A looks like the angular opening of the vocal cords when a person is inhaling. Before we can can speak, we need air. First, we must breathe. "Abre" is a word for open in Spanish.
Before you plant you plow. Ancient A was a plow pulling ox. prior preparation for planting. First act of agriculture. Preparing the soil
Ahhh! The dentist asks us to open our mouth wide and say, Ahhh! The meta-linguistic definition of the letter A is inherently means open, up, and air.
- Open:
- Words like gap, span, and aperature derive from the open sense of the letter A. Abierto means open in Spanish.
- Above:
- Alto, altitude, above, and tall connect with the Arrow Aiming Above sense of A.
- Air:
- Atmosphere and gas relate to the air sense of A, as do the bird and feather symbols that represent A in Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Vocal cords spell AIR. () = R, Hieroglyphics
