What are/were the customs for quickly referring to someone?

Given that a lot of Nahuatl names seem rather long, and thus impractical for e.g. trying to quickly warn someone of something dangerous, I'm assuming there must be some common approach to this. But I'm also seeing a general agreement that nicknaming by shortening names isn't really a thing in Nahuatl? So is there a common approach to this, or is this just a thing Nahuatl lacks/am I misunderstanding something?

Or "-3 to the next attack roll with this weapon, but if that roll succeeds, it's a crit instead"?

Both being single-action-to-apply buffs that can be applied to your own weapon or those of your allies, that can't be applied at the same time as one another (or any of another selection of buffs). I'm thinking about these in the context of a ported-over version of Starfinder 2e's Mechanic's Modify action and its "mods".

I'm very new to the system and poking at homebrews to see if I really "get" the math behind it yet. My guess is that the "better chance to hit, can't crit" version is balanced already at +2 (since the chance of a crit is roughly worth another 1-in-20 chance of hitting's damage or better against a target you're not massively stronger than), but I'm unsure about the "worse chance to hit, guaranteed crit" effect and how that balances out with Fatal and Deadly weapons.
