Device Prefix for Transmission Lines

How about W? That is commonly used for wire, and transmission lines are just wire with specifications.

I'm wondering if there is a generally accepted device prefix for transmission lines. When drawing a schematic, we all name our resistors "Rx", with x some unique identifier, our capacitors "Cx", for transistors we have "Tx" or "Qx", and so on. But what about (microstrip or coplanar or whatever) transmission lines? I mean, they are not exactly "ordinary" devices, but in the documentation about a circuit's design, I sometimes feel the need to name a line segment explicitly, like "line [whatever] was adjusted to yield a phase shift of ...". I'd call them "Lx" (for Line), but that's reserved for inductors. "LTx" would be a possibility, but I do not like two-character-prefixes that much.

Any opinions on that?

Regards,

Paul

Definitely the cutest definition of a transmission line I've ever heard of :-))
