Α

Α α, ἄλφα (q.v.), τό, indecl., first letter of the Gr. alphabet: as Numeral, ά = εἷς and πρῶτος, but ’α = 1,000.

ἄλφα alpha 3x

    first letter of Greek alphabet, Alpha, Rev 1:8; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13* Alpha.

G1 — Α, ἄλφα

τό, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, opening the series which the letter omega ω closes. Hence, the expression ἐγώ εἰμί τό Α (L T Tr WH ἄλφα) καί τό Ω (Ὦ L WH), Rev 1:8, Rev 1:11 Rec., which is explained by the appended words ἡ ἀρχή καί τό τέλος, Rev 21:6, and by the further addition ὁ πρῶτος καί ὁ ἔσχατος, Rev 22:13. On the meaning of the phrase cf. Rev 11:17; Isa 41:4; Isa 44:6; Isa 48:12; (especially B. D. American edition, p. 73). Α, when prefixed to words as an inseparable syllable, is:

1. privative (στερητικόν), like the Latinin-, the English un-, giving a negative sense to the word to which it is prefixed, as ἀβαρής; or signifying what is contrary to it, as ἄτιμος, ἀτιμόω; before vowels generally αν(, as in ἀναίτιος.

2. copulative (ἀθροιστικόν), akin to the particle ἅμα (cf. Curtius, § 598), indicating community and fellowship, as in ἀδελφός, ἀκόλουθος. Hence, it is:

3. intensive (ἐπιτατικόν), strengthening the force of terms, like the Latincon in composition; as ἀτενίζω from ἀτενής (yet cf. Winers Grammar, 100 (95)). This use, however, is doubted or denied now by many (e. g. Lob. Path. Element. i. 34f). Cf. Kühner, i. 741, § 339 Anm. 5; (Jelf, § 342 δ.); Alexander Buttmann (1873) Gram. § 120 Anm. 11; (Donaldson, Gram., p. 334; New Crat. §§ 185, 213; Liddell and Scott, under the word).

Α , α , ἄλφα

( q.v. ), τό , indecl., alpha,

the first letter of the Greek alphabet. As a numeral, = 1, α , = 1000.

As a prefix, it appears to have at least two and perhaps three distinct senses:

1. ἀ - (before a vowel, ἀν -) negative, as in ἄ - γιωστος , ἄ - δικος .

2. ἁ -, ἀ - copulative, indicating community and fellowship, as in ἁ - πλοῦ s, ἀ - κολουθέω , ἀ - δελφός .

3. An intensive force ( LS , s. a), as in ἀ - τενίζω is sometimes assumed (but v. Boisacq , s.v. ).

Ἄλφα , τό , indecl. ( see A), Alpha: Rev 1:8; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13 ( v. Swete , in 11.). †
