Imagine an "acronym" but instead of taking the first letter of each word, you took the entire first syllable of each word. I notice Japan, which incidentally has a syllabary, seems to create this sort of "acronym" fairly often.

Is there a word, like a linguistics word, for this type of syllabic "acronym"?

This name is unacceptably long, and therefore I propose we shorten it to "SylAb"

@[email protected] wikipedia at least calls them syllabic abbreviations https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_syllabic_abbreviations

@mcc you may also consider it a kind of clipped compound, or ClipCom
@mcc SylAb is a perfectly cromulent word
