                      Great Prophet=Gp
                      Great Artist=GA
                      Great Engineer=GE
                      Great Scientist=GS
                      to avoid conflict we could either use a full prefix "great person" + the name, so
                      Great Prophet=GPP
                      Great Artist=GPA
                      Great Engineer=GPE
                      Great Scientist=GPS

                      or use a different abbreviation for "great":
                      Great Prophet=GrP
                      Great Artist=GrA
                      Great Engineer=GrE
                      Great Scientist=GrS

                      or use alternate names
                      Great Prophet=GC (great cleric)
                      Great Artist=GM (great musician), GC (great culture-guy )
                      Great Engineer=GE (should be ok)
                      Great Scientist=GS (gallic swordsman is gone, so ok)

                      i'd go for the second solution... it's the most flexible and not conflicts at all...

                      and wasn't there a 5th type or great person?

                        Or how about just figure it out from context ...

                        "I think i'll hope for a GA next turn."

                        "I think I'll use my GA to do ..."

                        vs

                        "I just started a GA this turn!!"

                        "I think I'll aim for an early GA to build faster wonders."

                          Great Merchant... GM?

                          You could just call them 'artists', 'scientists' etc, but that would conflict with city-based specialists.
