CIDE DICTIONARY
a,  
  •  The first letter of the English and of many other alphabets. The capital A of the alphabets of Middle and Western Europe, as also the small letter (a), besides the forms in Italic, black letter, etc., are all descended from the old Latin A, which was borrowed from the Greek Alpha, of the same form; and this was made from the first letter (Aleph, and itself from the Egyptian origin. The Aleph was a consonant letter, with a guttural breath sound that was not an element of Greek articulation; and the Greeks took it to represent their vowel Alpha with the ä sound, the Phœnician alphabet having no vowel symbols.  [1913 Webster]
  •  The name of the sixth tone in the model major scale (that in C), or the first tone of the minor scale, which is named after it the scale in A minor. The second string of the violin is tuned to the A in the treble staff. -- A sharp (A1913 Webster]
    "O fair Creseide, the flower and A per se
    Of Troy and Greece.    "  [1913 Webster]
A per se (L. per se by itself), one preëminent; a nonesuch. [Obs.]
a,  
  •  An adjective, commonly called the indefinite article, and signifying one or any, but less emphatically.
    "It is placed before nouns of the singular number denoting an individual object, or a quality individualized, before collective nouns, and also before plural nouns when the adjective few or the phrase great many or good many is interposed; as, a dog, a house, a man; a color; a sweetness; a hundred, a fleet, a regiment; a few persons, a great many days. It is used for an, for the sake of euphony, before words beginning with a consonant sound [for exception of certain words beginning with h, see An]; as, a table, a woman, a year, a unit, a eulogy, a ewe, a oneness, such a one, etc. Formally an was used both before vowels and consonants."  [1913 Webster]
  •  In each; to or for each; as, “twenty leagues a day”, “a hundred pounds a year”, “a dollar a yard”, etc.  [1913 Webster]
a, prep. [Abbreviated form of an (AS. on). See On.].
  •  In; on; at; by.  [1913 Webster]
  •  In process of; in the act of; into; to; -- used with verbal substantives in -ing which begin with a consonant. This is a shortened form of the preposition an (which was used before the vowel sound); as in a hunting, a building, a begging.
    "The hyphen may be used to connect a with the verbal substantive (as, a-hunting, a-building) or the words may be written separately. This form of expression is now for the most part obsolete, the a being omitted and the verbal substantive treated as a participle."  [1913 Webster]
a,  [From AS. of off, from. See Of.].
     Of.  [1913 Webster]
a,  
     A barbarous corruption of have, of he, and sometimes of it and of they.  Shak.  [1913 Webster]
a,  
     An expletive, void of sense, to fill up the meter  [1913 Webster]
    "A merry heart goes all the day,
    Your sad tires in a mile-a.    "  [1913 Webster]
