I mean, these guys use the same scheme for at least some of their song titles.
arovane - aer valid, valid fard, nedjev, cycliph, plnt, [ etc ]
phonem - blone kone, pakt, phonetik, bitstream
brothomstates - qtio, vleade, mrdrmx, te noch rp, kivesq, [ etc ]
funckarma - blex, lawk, emplinx, nuncas, arati

Yes, absolutely - in fact a phoneme is defined as the smallest distinctive
unit of speech. Autechre have said in a non-piss-taking interview
(linked off autechre.nu I believe) that the song names are often typos
or transpositions of the name of a patch or sample they used in that song.
