What do you call a word with vowels removed?

What do you call a word with vowels removed as a form of abbreviation? Often, when using this form of abbreviation, the initial vowel is kept intact.

Example: asterisk -> astrsk

This is sometimes informally known as disemvowelling, but I'm looking for a more technical term.

Solution 1:

This is a version of the Pitman method of writing shorthand, where vowels are are optional when the word can be determined by just it's consonants. The Pitman method itself is more complicated and should not be confused with the simple action of removing the vowels. There are symbols for all the vowels, which can be found online, and help with identifying the words.
