在字母表上名列前茅,这是事出有因的。在古腓尼基的时候,字母A叫aleph,意思是牛。当时A的写法是(?),样子象牛的双角,当中并有斜斜的一横。希腊人把它翻转过来,成为现在这个样子。牛给腓尼基人以肉食,从事劳役提供鞋靴、衣著的原料。一群牛对他们来说就意味着一大笔财富。此外,由于英文字母中第一个是A,罗马数字中第一个数是1,将这两个为首字母与数字,连接来岂不是“头等”吗,所以Al或A one(读作A one或A number one),表示“头等的”,“极好的”。例如:
Being ranked among the best in the alphabet is a matter of cause. In ancient Phoenicia, the letter A was aleph, meaning cow.

The cattle feed meat to the Phoenicians and provide them with raw materials for footwear and clothing. A group of cows means a lot of wealth to them.
