I'm not sure if "effective" offers much description, as more
than the adaptive adjustment routines change the effective level
of the ATH.  However, "atoq" could mean the same as "ath", so a
different prefix seems reasonable.  Just pulling up the source, 
suggests something like "aaath", but we can just drop the letter
for "absolute", and tag the letter(s) representing "adaptive /
auto-leveling / auto-adjusting / adaptive adjusting" to the end to
get "tha" or "thaa".  Since the original comment in "encoder.c"
refers to "auto-adjust", the prefix "thaa" seems to fit well.
(Also, the anagram of "tha" may be confused with "ath" by those
with dyslectic tendencies.)

Okay, unless I receive further comments, I will go ahead and
change the prefix, but I will use a "--thaa-" prefix (which drops 
the wording argument of "effective" versus "absolute", and focuses
on pointing out the automatic adjustment).

Thanks for the feedback.

Kind regards,
