Papyrus function and event parameter names

[tox2ik]

Many, if not all of the parameters that an events and functions receive have prefixes such as ak, ab, ai.

 

Event OnObjectEquipped(Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)   
; akBaseObject: The base object the actor just equipped.
; akReference: The reference that the actor just equipped - if the reference is persistant. Otherwise, None. 

Function UnequipItem(Form akItem, bool abPreventEquip = false, bool abSilent = false) native
;    akItem: The item the actor should unequip.
;    abPreventEquip: If true, prevents the actor (or player) from equipping the item.
;    abSilent: Should the unequip message be silenced?

Function DisableLinkChain(Keyword apKeyword, bool abFadeOut)
; apKeyword: Keyword to check ref link against (see GetLinkedRef.) 

ObjectReference Function DropObject(Form akObject, int aiCount = 1) native
;    akObject: The object to drop from the inventory.
;    aiCount: How many to drop 

 

For primitive types (Literals) I assume ai stand for "an int", ab "a boolean" and so forth.

The prefix ap might be "a pointer", But the prefix ak makes no sense to me.
