What does ALEPH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Aleph functions as the very beginning of the Hebrew writing system, originally representing a glottal stop rather than a vowel sound. Mathematicians borrowed the symbol to name certain sizes of infinity, so aleph appears in set theory as aleph-null, the smallest infinite cardinal number. Its shape traces back to ancient Semitic scripts, where it is thought to have depicted an ox's head. Because of this dual life in language and mathematics, aleph shows up in both religious texts and technical papers on infinite sets.
How ALEPH is used
