Does not look like the problem is with the function above, but with this one
Particularly the call to (dolist (aggr (translate))
(defun shorten ()
"Shorten word at point according to specific rules."
(interactive)
(let* ( (bounds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'word))
(word (downcase (buffer-substring (car bounds) (cdr bounds))))
(rplc "") )
(goto-char (car bounds))
(dolist (aggr (translate))
(setq rplc (cdr (assoc word aggr)))
(unless (null rplc)
(add-to-list 'nscrip (replace-regexp-in-string word rplc word)))) ))
