Well, words, terms, notations and conventions come super cheap in math. You can call/denote "rng" anything you want. You just have to let your readers/interlocutors know about your conventions at the outset which is a standard practice in math anyway. For another thing, "r(u)ng" to me it's no different from writing "colonel" and reading it "kernel" (historical accident aside) :) There's also "lieutenant" which is pronounced " leftenant" in UK.
