#Alevi
- Alevin — A freshly hatched fish larva, in the first stage of post-embryonic development, characterized by the presence and absorption of the external yolk sac which provides its initial nutrition. It represents an extremely vulnerable and critical biological stage in pisciculture management and aquatic ecology, preceding the fry stage capable of independent planktonic feeding.
- Alevinage — The action of stocking a fish pond, lake, or running watercourse with alevins or fish fry for biological restocking, sport fishing, or commercial production; alevinage. The term defines a set of controlled agro-piscicultural techniques designed to ensure the acclimatization and survival rate optimization of fish larvae in the new aquatic ecosystem.
- Aleviniera — A specially designed pond, a small-scale fish hatchery basin, or a laboratory technical installation intended exclusively for rearing, sheltering, and medically monitoring alevins during their first stage of life. An aleviniera is engineered to ensure a constant flow of oxygenated water, strict temperature control, and absolute protection of fry against strong currents and pathogens.
- Alevi — A member of a heterodox, syncretic, and liberal religious and cultural community, derived from Shia Islam, primarily found in Turkey. Alevis do not use mosques or traditional pilgrimage; instead, they gather in houses of prayer called cemevis, where rituals include mystical music (saz) and the semah spiritual dance, strongly emphasizing humanism, Sufi mysticism, social tolerance, and gender equality.
- Alvin — A masculine given name of Old Germanic origin, structurally meaning 'noble friend', 'friend of the elfs', or 'wise protector'; also, in international ichthyology and marine biology, the term denotes a newly hatched fish larva or fry that draws nutrients from its yolk sac. Capitalized, it also represents the name of a famous deep-sea research submersible.
- Architecton — A literary term or technical archaism used to denote a chief architect, a master builder, or a supreme coordinator of monumental masonry works in antiquity or the medieval period. In avant-garde art (especially in Kazimir Malevich's suprematism), the term describes an abstract three-dimensional geometric structure, lacking immediate practical utility, used as a theoretical model for exploring pure spatial volumes and tectonic relationships.
