<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In the [[Speech, the | Speech]], a word made up of a number of syllables excerpted from other words in the Speech -- usually much longer ones. The excerpted syllable can come from any part of the word being abbreviated, but usually it comes from the syllable which expresses the "biggest" concept in a word: the one which suggests the [[power level]] attached to a concept, or its relative importance in the energy structure of the universe. The order in which the excerpted syllables are assembled has a considerable effect on the power of the final acronym. <br />
<br />
This form of abbreviation makes it possible to pack a great deal of information (or power) into a very small space. The wizard using such an acronym to work a spell, however, must be familiar with, and able to pronounce fully, all the words which are being abbreviated. Since these words themselves may in some cases be acronyms, the wizard also has to be able to handle the full versions of all ''those'' words as well. The effect is like dealing with a spring wound up very small and tight: the release of energy from such a structure can be very useful, but also very dangerous if one gets careless. <br />
<br />
The [[Mason's Word, the | Mason's Word]] would be an example of a syllabic acronym. So would merely descriptive words like [[sevarfrith]]. ([[SYWTBAW]] ''et al.'')</div>Import>DianeDuane
