Well, in Rokbeigalmki abbreviations are the first syllables of the words'
roots, up till the first vowel, strung together and separated with ''
(double apostraphes).

examples:

^dzuwaurg^dafal^ri.hlao^semoz-a = dzu''fa''ri
(the rokbeigalmki new year, "the festival of the widening of the circle
of the sun")

nga'aoledh-a tza'lesna-a rokbeigalmki-a = ao''le''ro
(my year-number for using the rokbeigalmki calender in RL, "from the
creation of the rokbeigalmki language")

kamble-a tza'weithaad sudrabauk = ka''wei''ra
(rokbeigalmki non-martial capoeira-like art form, "the dance of rhythmic
brawling")
