(wikipedia tittle)Noun
(en noun)- The foure pricks or tittles' are these. The first is a full prick or period. The second is a comma or crooked ' tittle .
- The words "jot" and "tittle " in this passage refer to diacritic marks, that is, dashes, dots, or commas added to a letter to accentuate the pronunciation.
- A tittle' is more or less the same thing (the dot over an i, for instance), except that it can be traced back to Medieval Latin for a little mark over or under a letter, such as an accent ague or a cedilla. I don't know whether an umlaut is one or two '''tittles'''. Maybe it's a jot and a ' tittle side by side.
