Why are $S$, $Z$ and $M$ used to denote the Conductor, Cyclic subspace and Annihilator in linear algebra?

In the text Linear Algebra (by Hoffman and Kunze), there are notations S, Z, M. What are these short for – that is, why are these particular three letters used for the following concepts?

(i) S. Let $W$ be an invariant subspace for $T$ and let $\alpha$ be a vector in $V$. The $T$- conductor of $\alpha$ into $W$ is the set $S_{T}(\alpha ; W)$, which consists of all polynomials $g$ (over the scalar field) such that $g(T)\alpha$ is in $W$.

(ii) Z. If $\alpha$ is any vector in $V$, the $T$- cyclic subspace generated by $\alpha$ is the subspace $Z(\alpha ;T)$ of all vectors of the form $g(T)\alpha$, $g$ in $F[x]$.

(iii) M. If $\alpha$ is any vector in $V$, the $T$-annihilator of $\alpha$ is the ideal $M(\alpha ; T)$ in $F[x]$ consisting of all polynomials $g$ over $F$ such that $g(T)\alpha = 0$.
