Is it because a FU... -like not very nice abbreviation already exists
in English?

Michael, in our proposal the evidence shown in the Figures comes for
an important part from Samoyedic languages: Lehtisalo,
Juraksamojedisches Wörterbuch (Fig. 39-57, 88). Also Fig. 67 has
Samoyedic.

Actually I do not know what to do yet.

Today the Finnish National Committee will deal with the proposal.
