// A (named a in the English, and most commonly ä in other languages).
//
// Defn: The first letter of the English and of many other alphabets.
// The capital A of the alphabets of Middle and Western Europe, as also
// the small letter (a), besides the forms in Italic, black letter,
// etc., are all descended from the old Latin A, which was borrowed from
// the Greek Alpha, of the same form; and this was made from the first
// letter (Aleph, and itself from the Egyptian origin. The Aleph was a
// consonant letter, with a guttural breath sound that was not an
// element of Greek articulation; and the Greeks took it to represent
// their vowel Alpha with the ä sound, the Phoenician alphabet having no
// vowel symbols. This letter, in English, is used for several different
// vowel sounds. See Guide to pronunciation, §§ 43-74. The regular long
// a, as in fate, etc., is a comparatively modern sound, and has taken
// the place of what, till about the early part of the 17th century, was
// a sound of the quality of ä (as in far).
//
// 2. (Mus.)
//
// Defn: The name of the sixth tone in the model major scale (that in
// C), or the first tone of the minor scale, which is named after it the
// scale in A minor. The second string of the violin is tuned to the A
// in the treble staff.
// -- A sharp (A#) is the name of a musical tone intermediate between A
// and B.
// -- A flat (A) is the name of a tone intermediate between A and G.";
