Since it's unpronounceable, it's neither ordinary English nor (by
definition) an acronym--which leaves Welsh, Klingon, or initialism. Any of
which explanations the definer, whether dealer or player, may have chosen
to omit.

I'll guess #2 and #18.

If this is accurate information, couldn't it be a clue and, as a result, apt to affect voting? I realize that players often make comments regarding their votes, but in this case it seems more like a possible hint to me.

After I voted (and, yes, one of my votes was for an "acronym") I looked up acronyms on the Web at http://www.acronymfinder.com/ . Perhaps this is not an authoritative source, but apparently some/many people don't feel that an acronym has to be pronounceable.
