	The 12dicts Word Lists
		The other list, the 2of12 list, is more inclusive in that it includes words listed in as few as two of the source dictionaries, but less inclusive in that it excludes items of various sorts, including multiword phrases, proper names and abbreviations.
		Unlike the 6of12 and 2of12 lists, this list is not based exclusively on the contents of my 12 source dictionaries, and for this reason it has, I feel, less authority than the other classic 12dicts lists.
		Because these two lists have the same rules for the kinds of words included, one could easily combine the two to produce a slightly larger list including a number of words whose omission from 6of12 is rather surprising.

	Wikipedia:Disambiguation and abbreviations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abbreviations, initialisms, and acronyms are likely to be ambiguous needing disambiguation.
		For two- and three-letter combinations, there is generally a list detailing a few or many possible uses.
		Abbreviations with dots, usually redirect to the "undotted" version: DC.

	World Guide to Logotypes, Emblems and Trademarks of International Organizations
		These include abbreviations and names in current use, whether official or unofficial, in various languages, and also, where relevant, abbreviations and names by which organizations were previously known.
		The organization’s name or abbreviation may be part of the logo, or another text may be incorporated into the logo.
		Alternative, unofficial, or former names and abbreviations are also indexed here, but only when they have been considered relevant to understanding the logo and have therefore been included in the text which accompanies the logo.

	Names
		In determining the meaning of a name (§6.5), the context of the occurrence is used to disambiguate among packages, types, variables, and methods with the same name.
		A simple name may occur in contexts where it may potentially be interpreted as the name of a variable, a type or a package.
		Names of class types should be descriptive nouns or noun phrases, not overly long, in mixed case with the first letter of each word capitalized.

	Names
		Much of the existing research deals with documenting given names or surnames to their first recorded occurrence, or to simply compiling lists of names suitable for Society use.
		Most names in use in England at this time were either of Anglo-Saxon or Norman-French origin, so notaries were forced to Latinize them, making it sometimes difficult to ascertain exactly how the name was spelled and used in the vernacular.
		The name does not seem to have been popular in England at that time, and even at Edward1s accession in 1272, if the Essex information is to be believed, it was still not a common name.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Abbreviations
		The medieval manuscripts abound in abbreviations, owing in part to the abandonment of the uncial, or quasi-uncial, and the almost universal use of the cursive, hand.
		The development of printing brought about the abandonment of many abbreviations, while it suggested and introduced new ones a process also favoured by the growth of ecclesiastical legislation, the creation of new offices, etc. There was less medieval abbreviation in the text of books much used on public occasions, e.g.
		In the fourth class of abbreviations belong all such as are used to describe the elements of the year, civil or ecclesiastical.

	Feminine Given Names in DES: Introduction
		Seltén's citations incidentally include a number of names not of OE origin; some of these were not in DES, and I have added them to the compilation when I have noticed them.
		After the full forms of the name I have left a blank line and then listed any hypocoristic and diminutive forms that I was able to identify; the citations for these forms are handled just like those for the full forms.
		Rare names are over-represented in DES because when they produced surviving surnames, Reaney seems to have taken extra pains to illustrate the early development.

	2. Note-taking in Consecutive Interpreting
		Notes must be unequivocal : for instance, the abbreviation -ind must be always used to represent one idea, be it industrial or independent, without inventing symbols or abbreviations in the course of a conference : if a new symbol is used, it must be so clear as not to create problems.
		Abbreviations and symbols have to be unequivocal, in the sense that their meaning must be immediately clear when the interpreter reads back his/her notes.
		All interpreters should have a list of abbreviations for country names and major international organizations, as well as for the notions which come up frequently in their own particular area of activity.

	World Checklist of Gesneriaceae / Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution
		Some names could not be assigned to a currently accepted taxon, and are flagged as “status unknown”.
		Data were derived, largely uncritically, from the literature, and this portion of the list should be regarded as a nomenclatural rather than taxonomic list (although the nomenclature probably corresponds closely to currently accepted taxonomic opinions in this group as reflected in the literature).
		All validly published names are accepted as valid taxa unless they have been cited in the synonymy of another species; accepted names vs. synonyms are based on the most recent literature of the group in question.

	IAU constellation list 1
		This is the original list of constellation names and abbreviations agreed by the International Astronomical Union at its inaugural General Assembly held in Rome in May 1922, and published in the Transactions of the IAU, vol.
		The list, improved by various people, was then tried out on sundry others of different nationality, and appeared to be interpretable almost at first reading.
		As explained in the introduction to the Harvard catalogue, its northern constellation names were taken from the atlases and catalogues of the German astronomers F. Argelander and Eduard Heis, while the southern constellations came from the corresponding works of B. Gould, an American astronomer who was director of the Argentine National Observatory in Córdoba.

	List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature
		The List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature includes, alphabetically and chronologically, the nomenclature of bacteria and the nomenclatural changes as cited in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, or published, or validly published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology or in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.
		Validation Lists are lists published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology or in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology validating bacterial names effectively published elsewhere (see: Validation Lists).
		The names which are to be used are those which are correct in the opinion of the bacteriologist (especially a combinatio nova or a nomen novum) and a particular name does not have to be adopted in all circumstances; it is possible for two or more validly published names to remain in use.

	What Are They Called? Native American Names
		Unfortunately the answers were heavily influenced by confusion and expediency, so the names that Americans and Canadians use today for Native Americans often have little to do with how those peoples refer to themselves.
		For example, the "Thompson" Indians were named after the explorer who "found" their river and "Eskimo" might have been a southerly attempt at insult (it may mean "eaters of raw meat" in Algonkian).
		The list does not include small changes in spelling or longstanding differences in nomenclature.

	Facts about the Official "Do Not Use" List \| Joint Commission
		The list was originally created in 2004 by The Joint Commission as part of the requirements for meeting National Patient Safety Goal requirement 2B (Standardize a list of abbreviations, acronyms and symbols that are not to be used throughout the organization).
		For accreditation purposes, the official “do not use” list applies, at a minimum, to all orders and all medication-related documentation that is handwritten (including free-text computer entry) or on pre-printed forms.
		In 2001, The Joint Commission issued a Sentinel Event Alert on the subject of medical abbreviations, and just one year later, its Board of Commissioners approved a NPSG requirement to develop and implement a list of abbreviations not to use.

	Glossary of U.S. Naval Abbreviations (OPNAV 29-P1000)
		For the benefit of naval personnel, officials, and scholars who may have occasion to consult correspondence, reports and historical narratives in which such abbreviations occur, it has seemed desirable to prepare a glossary identifying the principal terms likely to be encountered in such documents.
		Some abbreviations received an official blessing and were incorporated in aviation, communications, personnel or technical lists or manuals; others were often improvised and might vary with the individual taste of the abbreviator.
		Abbreviations preceded by an asterisk (*), other than Navy numbers, may never be used singly; those preceded by the symbol for number (#) are the Bureau of Personnel Condensation Code for use in dispatch orders to personnel.

	Abbreviations
		The abbreviations B.C. and A.D. are sometimes replaced with B.C.E. (before the common era) and C.E. (common era), both used after the date (although one must add that those abbreviations are neither widely used nor commonly understood).
		generally is used to introduce matter that is explanatory as opposed to being the name of an example or list of examples.
		Abbreviations of units of measure are written without periods (with the exception of "in" when it could be confused with the preposition).

		If the member is acting on behalf of an MLA committee, section, or chapter, list the member's position on the committee, chapter, or section followed by the name of the committee, section, or chapter.

	Medieval Naming Guides: Scandinavian
		The author includes name elements, but it would be a mistake to infer that they can be randomly re-combined to create new names.
		A couple specific warnings: Some of the names are foreign-origin names that were later borrowed into Icelandic or Norwegian use; if you particularly want a Viking-period name, check other sources to make sure that a particular name was actually used in the early period.
		As a general rule, the etymology of a name was rarely relevent to its use in medieval cultures.
