> I'd be grateful if fellow SEELANGtsy could provide some examples of

>
> The one I'm most familiar with, of course, is ЦУП (TsUP), Mission Control
> Center, and which yields usages such as в ЦУПе (v TsUPe) and от ЦУПа (ot
> TsUPa).

> What I'm interested in finding out from the examples is to get a better
> sense of which kinds of acronyms will decline.  So far, it seems that those
> that do all end in consonants and are spoken as words, but I'm curious to
> see a wider range of examples from non-aerospace sources.
