My first thought was of "function" also.
"fn" is also function in my mind. Is "foot" too verbose? For clarity,
why not "footnote"?
Yes, "footnote" might be better than "foot". But I think there is reason
to prefer a short labels since labels clutter the text. Hence, I suggest
"fn" or, maybe, "fn.".
