Joel, I see what you're saying. In the 
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary I have there are no 
words beginning with "sr" except "sri." This word 
is of Sanskrit background, literally means 
"majesty, holiness," and is used "as a 
conventional title of respect when addressing or 
speaking of a distinguished Indian.

Maybe this word is related to the name of Sri Lanka.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
