In addition to "angry," "hungry," and "gry," with the meaning of a small
or meagre amount, there are also: 

      a.  "gry," a variant of "gri," (a corruption of the Romany (Gypsy) 
          "grai"), meaning "a horse," and 

      b.  "aggry," (from "akori," an Edo word meaning "blue coral"), 
           designating a kind of variegated glass beads, of ancient 
           manufacture, found in Ghana, West Africa.
