    No, alpha is the anglicization of the first letter of the greek alphabet. It doesn’t mean ‘first’ any more than the letter A does.

      You’re wrong according to any dictionary ever printed, sorry.

      It has more than one definition, and one of those is “first”, and you must accept that as fact.
