Alpha, alpha of...

The first letter of the alphabet. By extension: something excellent. The first among all. "Number one."

("And from where would they bring the wine? - Kerutim and the Tulin are alpha for wine, second to them are Beit Rimah and Beit Levan in the hill" - Menachot 8:6. And also: "And that city was abundant in olive oil, and thus they said Tekoa is alpha for oil, meaning the city most excellent in oil" - Radak, II Samuel 14:2.)
