"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

The only son of carpenter Abid ("servant/slave"; Arabic عَبِيد) and Muslim-cleric Fatima Činjarević ("creator Aromanian's-doer's/maker's-descendant/-son"; Arabic فَاطِمَة; SerboCroatian činjar -ev- ić) completed Moris Moco Salom primary-schooling.

The record-label and the record-store Magaza ("shop/store"; Ottoman Turkish مغازه; Arabic مَخَازِن) figures professionally as Merlin ownership in Sarajevan-neighborhood Baščaršija ("head/main/primary-bazaar/market"; SerboCroatian Башчаршија; Turkish baş çarşı).

Dino Merlin guards personal time for such exercise as skiing downhill, interests as collecting art, such pastimes as reading books and such skills as playing chess. He has as his family house the home that he had with his father, his mother and his sister, Amina, the latter his only, younger sibling. He involves himself with charity concerts; underprivileged-children scholarship distribution through the Bosnia-Herzegovina Hastor Foundation year 2008-onward; Tue.-Tue., May 13-27, 2014 Southeast-Europe floods-relief blankets-, food-, provisions-, water-distributing.

The clade Tracheophyte ("windpipe-plants"; Greek τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία φυτά) journeys downward-flowing photosynthetic-nutrient phloem ("bark/husk"; Greek φλόος), upward-flowing soil-nutrient xylem ("wood"; Greek ξύλον) throughout mahogany trees whose guitars carpentry, music judicious Dino Merlin jubilates.

The clade Angiosperm ("container-/vessel-seed"; Greek ἀγγεῖον σπέρμα) kindles mahogany trees with tight-knit seed-keeping ovaries whose keenness double fertilization kineticizes and whose fruit-keeping survival pollen-keeping flowers know.

The clade Eudicot ("true-double-seed-leaf"; Greek εὐ- δι- κοτυληδών) logs mahogany-species trees with branching, net-like, reticulate-veined leaves; embryonic-seed leaf duo; three, three-plus pollen-producing pores; 20-plus-foot (6.096-meter) taproot. Starch-storing parenchyma ("between-in-poured"; Greek παρα- ἐν χεῖν) maintain nutrient and water movement across Rosid-mighty trunks even as older xylem makes secondary-metabolite gums, resins, tannins rot-resistant heartwood. The clade Rosid ("rose-like"; Latin rosa -idæ) nets mahogany trees high-volume transport vessels and mechanical-supportive, thick-walled fibers necessitating them springtime-large but thin-walled and summertime-dense but narrow-fibered.

The order Sapindales ("soap-Indian-pertaining"; Latin sapo indicus -ālēs) offers mahogany trees secondary metabolites ("change-connected"; Greek μεταβολή -ῑ́της) and specialized chemical compounds occasioning for carpentry, music oriented Dino Merlin opportune-toned, optimum-timbered mahogany guitars.

The family Meliaceae ("manna-ash-resembling [Fraxinus ornus]; Greek μελία; Latin -āceae) prompts flowering shrubs and trees with alternate-positioned foliage and ovary-, stigma-, stile-compounded carpel ("fruit/grain/harvest/produce"; Greek κᾰρπός).

The subfamily Cedreloideae's ("cedar-little-like"; Greek κέδρος οειδής; Latin -ela-) tribe Swieteniae queues winged seeds and woody capsules in cooperative-grained, durable, medium-dense, rot-resistant, stable, workable mahogany trees. The genus Swietenia (Gerard van Swieten [Fri., May 7, 1700-Thu., Jun 18, 1772]) reveals the cat's-eye chatoyance-effect, luminous-surfaced, narrow-banded, reflected-light optical phenomenon with average 20-plus-PLC values. The species macrophylla ("large-/long-leaf"; Greek μακρός φύλλον; George King [Sun., Apr 12, 1840-Fri., Feb. 12, 1909]) sequences 17-inch- (45-centimeter-) long leaves of central midrib-sharing even-numbered leaflets.
