More precisely, proposed terms should be an existing English word, not coming from an abbreviation, and present in at least on dictionary with a pertaining definition for the target method.

Although the core project scope is to provide alternatives to ideographic identifiers, to compete with them in terseness perspective, providing at least one trigraph alternative seemed to be nice. In the process, short terms for other non-ideographic identifiers were also found, so why not generalize this goal? This issue is there to aim at this.
