Aleph (or alef or alif, transliterated ʾ) is the first letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician ʾālep 𐤀, Hebrew ʾālef א, Aramaic ʾālap 𐡀, Syriac ʾālap̄ ܐ, Arabic ʾalif ا, and North Arabian 𐪑. It also appears as South Arabian 𐩱 and Ge'ez ʾälef አ.
But Hebrew is different. The design of an aleph is actually made up of three different letters: the letter yud or (ie. “a dot”) above; a yud (or dot) below; and a diagonal vav, or line suspended in between. The yud above represents G‑d, Who is above and beyond our comprehension.
