@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)
