I (cryptically) posted {rpH} , which means about the same thing: {ravDaq
jIpum
jIHaghtaHvIS}. I've used that one before, as I think I've seen others do, too
(Qov, maybe?).
I think any such abbreviation would have to use the significant letters of the
words, and not the prefix consonants. The prefix consonants just don't
provide enough information about what the writer is trying to say. Think of
the abbreviation as a form of clipped Klingon: {ravDaq pum HaghtaHvIS}.
