Not that it would make lots of sense, i am just wondering.Probably not, especially if one already considers (marya) to be "the lord" or something similar to that.
To change the subject a bit again, I think (marya) probably needs to be something more than "the lord" because I suspect that (mara), without the "y", is probably "the lord". So if (mara) is "the lord", then the "y" in (marya) is maybe just a grammatical device that turns "the lord" (mara) into something more definitive, as in "that the Lord".
