> 難しい言葉でなくても、道路の表札には、途中で切れずにとても長い道路の名前が書いてあることが諸 **っちゅう** あります。

Obviously, I should describe the context behind this sentence, so here goes:

On Tell Me!goo (教えて!goo), there is a question where the questioner asks,
“Please tell me about the differences between ‘今’ and ‘現在’”. You can read
about it here: <https://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/4537310.html>

One answer in particular is interesting. It says that ‘今’ and ‘現在’ have the
same meaning, and that ‘今’ is a Japanese word of Japanese origin and ‘現在’ is a
Japanese word of Chinese origin (i.e. a loanword). This implies that ‘今’ is
used for casual conversations and ‘現在’ is used for formal writing. Then it
cites Germany as an example of a country that avoids loanwords as much as it
can, and that results in very long nouns.

Then it arrives at the sentence. When I use Google Translate, I get the
following sentence as a result:

> Even if it is not a difficult language, there are many things in the
> nameplate on the road that the name of a very long road is written without
> being able to cut along the way.

Obviously, it is not a perfect translation, but it is a start.

When I looked up っちゅう on the following website
(<https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A1%E3%82%85%E3%81%86>), it
says that it is a conjunction and colloquialism that means “meaning; called;
said”.

I wonder if that part of the sentence is trying to say, “...there are many
said instances of....”

Am I on the right track here?
