Fendu rolls

When you press the center of a roll or loaf with a small dowel for final shaping, it is called a "fendu".  What is it called if you press it in opposite directions making 4 equal divisions?  Thanks, Paulav

Thanks for the guess... I've not been able to find the official name, but they are pictured in lots of books.
