  This is all coming from stenography, it's a well established shorthand for long words: first letter, count of middle letters, last letter.

    No, it cane from DEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym#Numerical_contractions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym#Numerical_contractio... It seems unlikely to me that stenography would use this style because they have better ways of abbreviating long agglutinative words.
