Is there/should there be a standard for the alpha segments?

For instance I've seen

Preview: pre, pr, p, preview and preview release
Alpha: alpha, a
Beta: beta, b
Development: dev, d
Release Candidate: rc, r, release, rcandidate
Final Release: f, final, final_release
Milestone: ms, milestone

Is it within the scope of semver to specify a recommended use/abbreviation?
