I know that i18n -> i nternationalizatio n (18 letters), log4j -> log for java (4 -> four -> for), c14n -> c anonicalizatio n (14 letters), and so on.
What are the names of these natural langages techniques ? It’s sort of rebus, puzzle, jokes ? Is there some doc on that ?
Thanks.
I think you might be looking for the term numeronym. The wikipedia page gives a list of (more or less) common numeronyms. Hope that helps.
