1 hr confidence:

million

Explanation:
"Owing to the fact that three ciphers when quick-
ly transwmitted bear a striking resemblance to a
figure 5, it will always be better to use tnd for
thousand and myn for million when thousands or
millions are expressed after the first, second, or
third figures by ciphers exclusively, thus: 10,000
-10 tnd; 248,000,000- 248 myns.

Hnd may also be used to advantage sometimes
to express hundreds, thus: 400- 4 hnd; 500,000
-5 hnd tnd; 300,000,000- 3 hnd myn."

Ich finde solche Abkürzungen nicht gut. Wären sie Gemeingut, hätte Gela54 fragen müssen!
