By the way, is the German abbreviation for it, KZ (pronounced
kah-tsett in German), known in the English speaking world?

No.

KZ is "Kuhns Zeitung," the universally used nickname for the principal
journal of Indo-European philology, which was actually called
Zeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung (a few years ago, it
changed its title slightly).

It's no-no to use the abbreviation KZ for anything in German. (Maybe Kuhns
Zeitung is an exception.)
