Aleph is hebrew.  In Isreal, hebrew preceeded greek, but in other areas
of the roman empire, greek was preceeded by something called linear b.
Apparently, the minotians wrote linear b (except very few did because it
was so hard, and thus they are no lastings literary works), then they
fell, and got replaced by a group, the name of which I can't remeber
(the class that covered this was only interested in the classical greek
age, and the age that the Illiad and Odysey were set in, not the age in
between), but they didn't have a written language, and then the
classical greek civilisation rose up, starting aroun 700-800BC, when
Homer wrote his works in greek. 

What's wrong with just saying that the current release of Croquet is
pre-alpha?  Or, one could just go with numbers.  Call the first release
0.0.0, the next 0.0.1, etc, until the next milestone stone is hit, then
go with 0.1.0, etc, until the 1.0.0 release.
