Shortest terms for the following concentration definitions?

What are the shortest terms for the last 2 concentration definitions?
mol solute/L solution=molarity
mol solute/L solvent=molality
g solute/L solution=?
g solute/L solvent=?

I doubt it, but "mass percent" comes close.

I saw nothing in this 2 books :
- Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary
- Comprehensive Dictionary of Chemistry
But I found Molarity, molality for exemple

"Concentration" is enough by default if appropriate units are specified after.

Fine, post edited so 2-words are allowed if they're the shortest.

For a dilute aqueous solution, g solute/L solution ca. = to g solute/g solution = (weight) percent.
For the last case, if you know the density of the solvent, and the solution is reasonably dilute, this also defaults to weight percent.
