Shelah - An overlooked acronym?

Originally published 7/25/09, 11:50 pm.
Everyone realizes that the Shelah is the acronym for his magnum opus:

SHnei
Luchos
HAbris

What few realize is that it alludes to the initials of the author's name as well. Viz.

yeSHaya
haLevi
Horowitz

Calling him SHAYA instead of Yeshaya.

Ever wonder what other "hints," such as double entendres, go over our heads all the time? Perhaps in the Torah, the Talmud, and in regular every day life?

Shavua Tov!
