Kanji with long あー sound


Although the long あー sound occurs in many words written in katakana, and in
some onomatopoeia and interjections (ザーザー, まあ, etc.) it seems to be very rare
in words written with kanji. The only example that I know is お母さん{おかあさん}. Is
this the only one, or are there other words written with kanji that use this
sound?

Clarification: I know there are many cases where two あ sounds meet across a
morpheme boundary, e.g. 唐揚げ{からあげ}, which is not what I'm interested in. I'd
like a list of kanji which have morpheme-internal readings containing あー.




First, it'll be very marginal, at least the long あ is impossible to appear in
classic onyomi (漢音, 呉音, 唐宋音) series and "regular" native words. 母さん is like
"mom" as opposed to "mother", and you can see these kind of words rarely get
an established kanji.

If you include proper names like
[大同【タートン】](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datong) and
[大慶【ターチン】](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daqing), the number would be nearly
infinitive. There are also Western loanwords like 碼【ヤード】 and 陌【ヘクタール】, but not
quite established.
