I know of such abbravation that has been coined by Ze'ev Ben-Hayyim in his
works about the Samaritan Hebrew. There it means: "Ivrit Nusah Tveria"
(=tibarian hebrew), and servers to differentiate between ayin-nun-shin which
is "Ivrit Nusah Shomron" (=samaritan hebrew).
Is it that? If not, send me a whole sentence.
