Originally, 194481/194480 was intended to be named the axial comma, based on the factorization of 31213/31212, the [[E-shaped comma]], into 37180/37179 ([[lateral comma]]) and 194481/194480, referring to the rectilinear shape of the letter E. However, the latter was already named as the [[scintillisma]].
