Maybe your NHOLD is the same as the standard HOLDS:
 
|6.2.1675 HOLDS CORE EXT ( c-addr u -- )
|
|Adds the string represented by c-addr u to the pictured numeric output
|string. An ambiguous condition exists if HOLDS executes outside of a
|<# #> delimited number conversion.
 
<https://forth-standard.org/standard/core/HOLDS>

I have ( adr len -- ) SHOLD  for that.  It came at the same time as:

  ( char +n -- ) NHOLD

  ( +n -- adr ) +HOLD  \ factor for HOLD SHOLD NHOLD

The factor is headerless in DX-Forth as I couldn't think of any uses beyond
the three indicated.  They were added mid 2014.
