"Tabular" by itself describing a bead shape only means "flat". The Pumtek bead necklaces that were available in the '80s were often arranged with a few pairs of tabular square forms with the hole from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner. So they could be described as tabular diagonal squares, in among the long barrels and spheres. Tabular diamonds are not the same, The ones in the image are rather unusual forms for pumtek beads in my experience. It would be interesting to have seen the arrangement before the ones shown were taken off the thread? I hesitate to use the word "Lozenge" as everyone seems to understand something different. Perhaps we all have different medications as lozenges to swallow... Stefany
