Best Answer

When you have a single piece on any point it is vulnerable. It is called a "blot".

If you put a second piece with it is is called "making the point". Same thing if you move two pieces to the same empty point.

If you have two or more pieces -- a "stack" -- on a point, it is called "owning the point".
