...and you are saying
> Alpha (alphanumeric character) doesn't make
> sense?

Basicly, YES as follows:
---
al·pha (lf)
n.

The first letter of the Greek alphabet.

The first one; the beginning.

Chemistry. The first position from a designated carbon
atom in an organic molecule at which an atom or radical
may be substituted.

Astronomy. The brightest or main star in a Constellation.

The mathematical estimate of the return on a security
when the return on the market as a whole is zero. Alpha
is derived from a in the formula Ri = a + bRm, which
measures the return on a security (Ri) for a given
return on the market (Rm) where b is beta.

adj.
First in order of importance.
Chemistry. Closest to the functional group of atoms in an organic molecule.
Alphabetical.

Well, I see Alphabetical there, but, I sure don't see any numeric.
