Beth's preceder (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aleph

'beth's preceder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aleph that I've seen before include "First character" , "Abroad, a" , "Hebrew character" , "letter in Middle East" , "First letter of the Hebrew alphabet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
