Within the context of the protos πρῶτος, the first bridge between invisible God and visible creation, i.e., the alef א, the first letter can be thought of as the even shetiya, the Stone of Foundation. -----And this isn't just whistling Dixie since in the emblem of emanation, i.e., the first word in the Torah-text ----בראשית---- we've but to form a different word-break in the sacred consonants to spell out the words "created-foundation" ברא–שית. the even shetiyah (represented textually by the alef א) is the "created-foundation" of the world.
