Erdnase?

I realize I haven't updated recently, but I just had a thought. Being that the typewriter was invented in the 1870s, we can assume that Erdnase used one, or at least had knowledge of one. What if the name 'SW Erdnase' is a code based on the position of the keys on the typewriter? For example, what if it was about shifting left or right to spell something else?
Just a concept.

PS I just about freaked when I tried shifting over one to the left and spelled Wes.
