A shortened sound effect is when a sound effect has less letters than its known base word / letter combination. These are usually not considered an onomatopoeia even if the base form is one.

Some sound effect forms are very commonly depicted in a shortened form. Regardless of how common a sound effect's depicted usage is, the base form should always contain vowels, and preferably reflect its onomatopoeia form if one exists.

Example

• "Gluck" is commonly depicted as the reduced form "Glk". "Gluck" is the base form and the tag to use for "Glk".
