T-Y-R is also the root in semitic languages (eg, Hebrew and Arabic) related to flying! Maybe not on purpose, but I really like that incidental connection, given the combined reputation of rust and GPU operations for being fast.

Edit: apparently T-Y-R is not a root relating to flight in Hebrew! Maybe other Semitic languages, Im not sure. In Arabic it certainly is

As a Hebrew speaker I cannot understand how you came into this conclusion. The closest I can think of is ת-י-ר, which is the root of being in a trip.
