Is the same as alpeh and alpha.

Ba, bet and beta.

Ga, gimel, and gamma.

The alphabet is fun.

Formed from the first three letters of the Arabic one, this is a system of writing which includes only consonants. In the Semitic languages the abjad is fundamentally entwined with the novel grammar: the consonants in a word indicate its meaning, whilst the vowels (along with pre- or postfixes) indicate its form).
