With regards,

DESIGNATION PROBABILITIES

For a Moment, If We Keep Out The “GEOGRAPHICAL” INDICATORS (IN A DESIGNATION), Then there are THREE “AXIS” LEFT, VIZ:

1.       Basic Designation

2.       Level (Hierarchy)

And

3.       Functions

In the attached sheet, I have drawn a Matrix of Basic Vs. Level

From this matrix Itself, it becomes clear that certain “COMBINATIONS” are just not possible or highly improbable.

Again,

If these, seemingly possible (RATHER PROBABLE) Combinations were to be “Married” to each “Function – Axis”, The Probability of occurrence of such “3-WAY” combination would further come Down.

In any case, from magazines if we scan & pick-up hundreds of such “3-WAY’ (Full Form) Designations and count their occurrences, we could, for each Establish, A Reasonably Accurate “PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE”
