John,
You've seriously never heard of a "fingered tremolo" before? It's a
tremolo of rapidly alternating pitches played on a single string,
without rapid changes of bow direction -- in other words, it's
exactly like a trill, but with a larger interval.
I'm sure you've *played* them countless times before, so what do you
call them?

Can anyone tell me what the French terminology is for finger

Hi, John. Could you explain the English meaning you understand?
What, in other words, is a "finger tremolo"? It isn't a term this
string player is at all familiar with. Vibrato? Bow pulsation?
All are possible, as is a true tremolo (unmeasured continuously
alternating bow strokes).
