But this abbreviations are unused and correct too:
st.     -> stcz.
kw.     -> kwc.
cz.     -> czw. czr.
gr.     -> grd.

So, where did you found that ones as correct?

OK, so read this:

Language guide of PWN]

Polish Language.

In short:
"in computer systems, ortographical rules can be violate e.g. pon., wto., ¶ro.,
czw., pi±., sob., nie. (this abb. can be with no dots too), but the rules how to
do it and for what, must be strictly defined".

So, you can realize rules which are strictly defined in ISO/IEC TR 14652 and as
it was before GLibC 2.6.3

but:
if you choose "today's dictionary" way in place of international standard, don't
forget to change abday.
