French term or phrase: dans le, dans la, dans les
Need to know if there is a STANDARD French abbreviation or shorthand practice employed for these terms for DBA purposes, such as "dl", "d/l", "d-l", "d.l." or something to that effect.

I have an index of a bazillion entries, but limited character space per entry, and "dans le", "dans la", "dans les" seem to be repetitive, extraneous, and bloating the file size.

AAA dans le BBB
CCC dans les DDDs
EEE dans la FFF
GGG dans les HHHs
III dans le JJJ
KKK dans les LLLs
MMM dans la NNN

If there is no STANDARD shorthand practice for "dans la/le(s)", please let me know.
