The Sanskrit letter "a" has much practical meaning in inner yoga, so it's not unusual to see many ideas linked to this sound or it's shape in certain alphabets. For example, in the Sanskritized Tibetan alphabet is resembles a Garuda arising, full-born, from it's shell, and symbolizing the inherent non-dual state without supports, spontaneously present.
