_svmt_*: type (usually typedef of a struct)
_svmv_*: global variable
_svmf_*: function
_svmm_*: macro
_svmh_*: hidden function... A function which should never be called
         directly by a SableVM programmer, it is instead called
         through a macro.  (e.g., if you wish to call a _svmh_
         function, you should find its related _svmm_ macro and call
         it instead).

You're welcome to add this explanation in the /doc directory. ;-)
