Haj is an accepted alternate spelling, at least according to dictionary.com. But I love your new suggestion, so that's been substituted in for NAST, which, frankly, was a bit of a desperate final choice - crimping it to 2 continents narrowed the options a bit :)

Jery is also an alternate spelling of Jerry, but is it correct? - The pilgrimage to Mecca is a HAJJ.
