Capitalization
According to the practice of the former owner of the trade name, as well as the current owners, it's ALPA, not Alpa.
- But according to the practice of Sanyo (makers of fridges, cellphones, and yes, even cameras) it's not Sanyo but SANYO. Well, I don't say that my phone is an Ess-aye-en-why-oh, and so I ignore Sanyo's desire to make its name more CONSPICUOUS and I write "Sanyo". I've heard people talking about Alpas (sounding rather like those mountains); I've never heard people talking about Aye-ell-pee-ayez. And therefore I'd also give "Alpa", uh, "the 'Sanyo' treatment".

Topography categorization
Why? Is the name explicitly derived from the mountains, and citation? Rvolpe 19:42, 14 April 2012 (PDT)
