Talk:joy

murȝe
I have removed 'murȝe' from the list of displacements with this reasoning: it's an adjective, not a noun - literally the word merry. Its noun form 'mirth' meaning joy has not truly been displaced, though it may be considered a bit archaic. Please let me know if I'm mistaken. Eigooms (talk) 02:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Pheidippides
apparently the word Joy was used back during when the Pheidippides ran the first marathon.. 'Joy, we win' he spoke.. this predates what this site says..

Also (obsolete) a jewel, in parts of India?
says:


 * This seems from the quotation to have been used on the west coast for jewel (Port. joia). 1810. — "The vanity of parents sometimes leads them to dress their children, even while infants, in this manner, which affords a temptation ... to murder these helpless creatures for the sake of their ornaments or joys." — Maria Graham, 3.
