@medievodons and Art Historians, I need help with a word. Is there a specific term for "those little groups of three dots" one often sees in manuscript illumination? As example in Ott.lat.1562 f.1r. I feel like I've seen them so much they need a specific term, but I can't seem to recall one

@aaronm @medievodons I was thinking ‘asterism’, but of course that mainly refers to three stars in that arrangement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterism_(typography)

On ancient coins (600 BCE =>) they are called pellets (today).

@aaronm @medievodons I don't know a specific term, but arranged with two in the bottom and one on top in maths/logic notation they would mean 'therefore'.

@aaronm @medievodons I think we can rule out Triforce.
