#### Usage notes

* German orthography prescribes that, in an abbreviated phrase, spacing be retained between each abbreviated word and the next; that regulation is almost universally observed wherever Abh. Berl. Akad. occurs in German texts. Other languages are less observant of this rule, however, with divergent forms such as AbhBerlAkad. (Italian) and Abh.Berl.Akad. (English and Spanish) occasionally occurring.
