Maybe `wudo`? Windows Sudo!

If sudo stands for “superuser do”, and on Windows they call this user an “Administrator”. It stands to reason they should call it `audo`.

Though this would be confusing, as people would pronounce it like “adieu”, which would make it sound like an alias for `logoff`.

Or 'mudo', Microsoft sudo.

With the added benefit of having appropriate meaning in some slavic languages.
