Transmogrify?  Rats!  You stole mine.  How about, for religion fans,
"transubstantiate"?  It becomes something else entirely...

Or "transylvanize"...it sinks its fangs into the string.

or "trepan"...it cuts a hole in the skull of the string to relieve
pressure...

or "trans", with the ending left to the reader...

now we're back to "tr".  You decide.

Hey, it's a Perl board game.  Given a cryptic Perl abbreviation, turn over
the hourglass, and everybody comes up with as many possible
interpretations as they can.  Who said geeks aren't social?
