lacunas

Holes in text

Lacunas is one plural of lacuna, a gap or missing portion—especially in a manuscript, text, or body of knowledge: The ancient scroll had several lacunas where the papyrus had crumbled.

In anatomy, lacunas are small cavities or spaces in bone or tissue.

The Latin plural lacunae is more common in formal and scientific contexts.
