Abbreviations, anyone?

[nablator]

Of course there are, only you make the same mistake most people make, you read annum, you could read avium/auium as well, the best example is the famous daiin, which really is d' aui.

I read annum because it is annum in this example. I did not mean or imply that it is always annum.

"Of course there are"
Where? The Longest EVA "ai*n" sequence is "aiiin" in the VMs. There is no "aiiiin", no "aiiiiin". Why?
