MRY

According to Acronym FinderMRY stands for Monterey Regional Airport. The 3-letter code of the airport located in Monterey County, CA, is indeed MRY.
The tool, when applied to NRK, shows (for example):

  • Nederlandse Rode Kruis (Dutch Red Cross)

  • Norsk Røde Kors (Norwegian Red Cross)

  • Non Resident Keralite (India)

  • Nihon Ruuteru Kyoudan (Japanese Lutheran Church)

One would find the 4th result above odd…why R, not L ? It's correct, as written in its homepage as follows:

Welcome to the Japan Lutheran Church (Nihon Ruteru Kyodan - NRK)
We are a synod of 35 Lutheran churches serving the Lord and His people in 8 prefectures of Japan for the past 70 years.
The NRK is a member of the International Lutheran Council and is in fellowship other Lutheran bodies around the world which share the Lutheran faith.

However, this tool is not enlightening in the sense that it does not show नरक (Naraka, in Sanskrit), which was transliterated into Japanese as 奈落迦 (Naraka) and then translated to 奈落, which is currently used in Kabuki, obviously because it is not intended to find words using a shoresh.

This article is just a rubbish (as usual) on 3 words from 3 different languages with the same shoresh MRY, namely

  1. 守矢(洩矢)

  2. מוֹרִיָּה

  3. मोरया

As for the Hebrew word, I would expect an objection since it doesn't contain Y in English spelling. However, transliteration is Moriyyah according to
https://biblehub.com/hebrew/4179.htm

As a disclaimer, I do not suggest anything about the relationship among the 3 words from a linguistic perspective.

Incidentally, this particular case of MRY would bring an awkward situation if I include Armenian հայերեն, since the following three letters would sound "similar" to "r" for Japanese😮🤔😶 for whom Luther could be spelled as Ruuteru 😶🙃😎

  • Ղ/ղ: similar to R/r in French. Its transliteration (by Hübschmann-Meillet) into Latin is Ł/ł but different from Polish pronunciation.

  • Ռ/ռ: similar to Russian Р/р

  • Ր/ր: IPA ⟨ɹ⟩, sounds like zh at the end of the word, similar to Tamil (IPA ⟨ɻ⟩)

And Լ/լ (corresponding to L/l in English) does exist, used in a beautiful Armenian phrase Աչքդ լույս: It is a congratulatory word on a happy occasion and literally means "Light in your eyes"✨ Also "Good morning" in Armenian is Բարի լույս:


守矢・洩矢

① I visited Moriya Shrine 洩矢神社 located in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture (長野県岡谷市) in February 2023.

My post on Moriya Shrine in X (Twitter) in February 2023

Moreya or Moriya (洩矢神, Moriya- / Moreya-no-Kami) is a Japanese god who appears in various myths and legends of the Suwa region in Nagano Prefecture (historical Shinano Province). The most famous of such stories is that of his battle against Takeminakata, the god of the Grand Shrine of Suwa (Suwa Taisha).

Back in February 2021, I had the opportunity to pay visits to 4 shrines of Suwa Grand Shrine 諏訪大社 (下社秋宮, 下社秋宮, 上社本宮, 上社前宮) in Nagano Prefecture, one of the major shrines⛩️ in Japan. However, the main purpose of the trip was to visit Sakinomiya Shrine 先宮神社 & Ontō Mishaguji Sōsha 御頭御社宮司総社. Both of them retain the pre-history before "Takeminakata 建御名方神, one of the sons of the god Ōkuninushi, fled to Lake Suwa 諏訪湖 after being defeated by the warrior god Takemikazuchi 建御雷神".

Moriya is regarded as the mythical ancestor of the Moriya clan (守矢氏), a priestly family that formerly served in the Upper Suwa Shrine (上社, Kamisha), one of the two sub-shrines that make up Suwa Taisha.

Here're photos from my trip in February 2021:

The following article is quite interesting relative to this subject:


מוֹרִיָּה Moriah

② The Hebrew word מוֹרִיָּה Moriah is the biblical location where Solomon's Temple is said to have been built:

https://theisraelbible.com/how-do-we-really-know-where-mount-moriah-is/

This is exactly the word that I came up with in my mind in relation to Moriya Shrine in Japan mentioned in ① most likely due to that I used to stay at Sheraton Moriah Tel-Aviv for business trips to Tel-Aviv when I worked for an Israeli company from 2000 to 2002.

मोरया Morya

③ The Hindi (Marathi) word मोरया appears in "Ganesh Mantra" as गणपति बप्पा मोरया (Ganpati Bappa Morya). During the celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi, chants of "Ganpati Bappa Morya" are common. Morya is a name of a great devotee of Lord Ganesh in the 14th century...
(NOTE: Search by "Ganpati Bappa Morya" would result in so many articles, songs, et al.)
I love this particular मंत्र so much:

ओम गन गणपतये नमो नमः
श्री सिद्धि विनायक नमो नमः
अष्टविनायक नमो नमः
गणपति बापा मोदया
