大山積神

Originally a compound of 大 (ō, “great”) +‎ 山 (yama, “mountain”) +‎ つ (tsu, Old Japanese possessive particle) +‎ 神 (mi, “god, spirit”) +‎ の (no, possessive particle) +‎ 神 (kami, “god, spirit”, also used as an honorific epithet for gods). The use of 積 (tsumi, “packing; piling; loading”) to spell the tsu mi portion is an example of phonetic ateji.
