There was an early release not that pointed out that the four-character thing specifically didn't apply to qualifiers that started with NO, those needed 6 characters.

I think the motivating example was MOUNT/NOUN[LOAD] which became ambiguous when /UNIT appeared.

I don't suppose 6 is  much better than 4 for you though :-)
