1993, Malcolm Beckwith Parkes, Pause and Effect, Glossary, pages 306–307:

[…]manuscript punctuation has a punctus elevatus after the interjections and a punctus interrogativus at the end of the sentence.

2000, Jane Roberts, Janet Laughland Nelson, editors, Essays on Anglo-Saxon and Related Themes in Memory of Lynne Grundy, King's College (University of London), →ISBN, page 537:

[…]although none of these happend to have occasion to use the punctus interrogativus.

punctus elevatus

/ˌpʌŋktəs ɛləˈvɑːtəs/

From Medieval Latin pūnctus ēlevātus (literally “raised mark”).

The punctus elevatus after consecuto ('followed') not only distinguishes more sharply between the present state of revelation and the historical process by which it was achieved but emphasizes the relationship between them as one of cause and-effect.

1993, Malcolm Beckwith Parkes, Pause and Effect, Influences on The Application of Punctuation, page 71:

The point and punctus elevatus are used within the sentence.

(palaeography) A medieval punctuation mark indicating a medium-length pause (approximately ⸵).

[…]moreover by turning the punctus after fiant into a punctus versus, he has repointed the two verses as a single sententia.

1993, Malcolm Beckwith Parkes, Pause and Effect, Influences on The Application of Punctuation, page 74:

Thus the basic punctuation marks used in English manuscripts of the eleventh-thirteenth centuries are: the simple point, the punctus elevatus, the punctus versus, and the punctus interrogativus.

2011 July 22, Tadao Kudouchi, edited by Akio Oizumi and Jacek Fisiak, English Historical Linguistics and Philology in Japan, De Gruyter, →ISBN, page 172:

punctus circumflexus

From Medieval Latin pūnctus circumflexus (literally “bent-around mark”).

[…]MS. Bodley 340, going back to an early form of the text, has confused indications that such was intended: after 'þa' it has a punctus circumflexus[…]

1953, Occasional Papers, volume 3, University of Cambridge, page 10:

There was an entirely separate set of marks to coach the raising and lowering of the voice in oral delivery -- including the punctus elevatus, the punctus interrogotivus^([sic]), and the punctus circumflexus.

2004, George D. Gopen, The Sense of Structure: Writing from the Reader's Perspective, Pearson Longman, →ISBN, page 170:

(palaeography) A medieval punctuation mark indicating a short pause (approximately '̣).


punctus flexus

From Medieval Latin pūnctus flexus (literally “bent mark”).

In the sacerdotal prayers in col. a the punctuation is by punctus flexus, punctus elevatus and punctus.

1993, Malcolm Beckwith Parkes, Pause and Effect, Plates and Commentaries, page 197:

Very few cases show the use of the punctus flexus for minor medium pauses.

2007, Manuscripta: A Journal for Manuscript Research, volume 51, St. Louis University Library, page 230:

After all, it was the revision of the Cistercian liturgy that helped facilitate the widespread use of positurae, particularly the punctus flexus and punctus elevatus.

In this issue of HeartRhythm is a very interesting article by Ragupathi et al, who describe the natural history of patients with putative intrahisian atrioventricular (AV) block. The authors have nicely shown that although these patients often present with traumatic and very worrisome syncopal episodes, they seem to have a very low incidence of progression to complete AV block.

2018, Melvin M. Scheinman, “Progression of intrahisian atrioventricular block: Will this presage a renaissance of His-bundle studies?”, in Heart Rhythm, volume 15, number 9, →DOI, →PMID, page 1378:

biodiversity hotspot

biodiversity hotspot (plural biodiversity hotspots)

From biodiversity + hotspot. The word hotspot to describe such regions appears to have been first used by the British environmentalist Norman Myers (1934–2019) in a 1988 article in The Environmentalist.

Conservationists are far from able to assist all species under threat, if only for lack of funding. This places a premium on priorities: how can we support the most species at the least cost? One way is to identify ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat.

2000 February 24, Norman Myers, Russell A[lan] Mittermeier, Cristina G[oettsch] Mittermeier, Gustavo A. B. da Fonseca, Jennifer Kent, “Biodiversity Hotspots for Conservation Priorities”, in Nature, volume 403, number 6772, London: Nature Research, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, abstract, page 853:
