Answer 2

Another couple of examples:

(Yes, words beginning with al-)

Alcázar - castle

álgebra - algebra

alfombra - carpet/rug

Alhambra - name of the palace in Granada

Algeciras and Almería - two cities in Spain

Oh, and tangerina - tangerine, root in Tangiers, the city

ojalá - I didn´t know that, but now that it´s been mentioned, makes sense.

Answer 3

any word beginning with al- such as alcalde.  about 60% of borrowed words do start with al-, many others are place names throughout spain.
