Oooh, tricky.  It stretches just a teensy bit further than I'm comfortable
with at the moment, but it's certainly unambiguous.  I'm pretty sure that
I'd have understood {nuqDIch} had I encountered it "cold".

I don't object to it, but I won't start using it quite yet.  The more I
think about it, the more reasonable it sounds.  This is dangerous!
