History
The earliest ancestor of "A" is from the Wavei word "Morai", meaning "first". This later developed into being the first letter of the Brinion alphabet. The Wavei word "Morai", originally meaning Air/wind, In turn became the meaning of "First". The meaning "First" developed from this, as the first thing a new born child would do is breathe air.

The character "A" in Wavei, itself represented the land above man, eg. the air/wind, whereas "a" represented man. However "a" was later changed in Wavei to "Su", meaning "Person".

The Brinion people, hoping to respect their ancestor's culture and beliefs, used both the capital "A" and the lower case "a" in their alphabet.
