Ayb (majuscule: Ա; minuscule: ա; Armenian: այբ) is the first letter of the Armenian alphabet. It has a numerical value of 1.[1] It represents the open back unrounded vowel (/ɑ/) in bothvariants of the Armenian language. This letter and the letter Ben (Բ բ) are the two first letters in the Armenian alphabet and forms the etymology of the Armenian word այբուբեն (aybuben), meaning "alphabet." It is one of the letters originally created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century.
The letter Ա occurs mainly in initial or medial word positions and very rarely in final position. This is explained by the fact that the Proto-Armenian language dropped off word-final vowels in multisyllabic words.
MeaningsEdit
As a unit it is a symbol of God. This is because the words "Աստվաց" (God) and "Արարիչ" (Creator) begin with it. Thus, the symbolism of it corresponds to the Greek letter "alpha" in the Book of Revelation, where the Lord says, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." (Revelation 1:8).
