The proposed letter code is 'e', as used in numpy. I'm not sure of the logic that went behind the choice, except perhaps that 'e' is near 'd' and 'f'.
So it is 'e' for half,
No, 'e' for 'elfin' ;-).
I thought it was because when you first hear someone talking about "half-float" you say "eh?" :-)
'f' for single and 'd' for double.
