Selected
rhombus, rhomb, rhomboid
Source PONS - lozenges are also a given T for rhombus (shape).
Reverse search for lozenges - I am not sure if the more dominant association with "cough lozenges" is desired (at least that's what comes to my mind if I read "lozenges"). The word is most likely part of the legend for a technical diagram - the reader should be familiar with the term rhombus IMO. Hier werden im Diagramm die Abscheidungsrate in % als graue Rhomben dargestellt.

For diagrams, \"diamond\" is a very, if not more, common term. Let\'s see if it can be added to the glossary for this particular context. Thanks! VerenaH

diamonds
I assume the 'graue rhomben' refers to a data plot in a graph in which case diamonds is the correct term.

: I have frequently read "diamonds" in diagrams, so one should definitely add that word to the glossary for Rhombus (for that context). Is there still a way or should I ask Rhombus (Datenpunkt im Diagram) again for you guys and you give the right answer?

Thanks for your support. I really think diamonds is best in this context.
