I don't really have an abbreviation marker in the ReadLex. I'll think about it, but it's a big change so not likely in the shorter term.

Having abbreviations marked as such sounds useful. I remember having to ignore them the last time I checked the consistency between the IPA field and the Shavian spelling. (It was before JSON, though.) Currently, the mismatch between these fields is the only way to tell they are abbreviations.

Note, however, that there is no such mismatch here. This is probably not an abbreviation. It's probably the 𐑝𐑪𐑤 🪽🪽 as in 𐑝𐑪𐑤 𐑩𐑚𐑱𐑕𐑱 or 𐑛𐑧𐑥𐑦-𐑝𐑪𐑤 rather than something measured in gallons or decibels. I can imagine some alternative scenarios, but I think the “vol” entry in Cambridge is for the bird parts.

I can imagine someone reading the abbreviation “vol.” as /⁠vɒl⁠/, but then I'm not at all sure if that's still just an abbreviation and where to draw a line when marking up such lexemes. Is 𐑚𐑮𐑴 an abbreviation? Is ·'𐑯𐑭𐑥? Is 𐑛𐑴𐑯𐑑? The exact meaning would need to be decided on.
