rasguado, I suppose.

the way I'm used to talking about it, raking means going physically up
from, say, 2nd through 5th courses (French sources: tirer, pincer),
whereas going physically down from, say, 6th through 2nd courses is
called strumming (French: rabattre). Both Gaultier 1669 and Gallot 1670
have dots after letters (a coste) signifying raking as opposed to dots
before letters, signifying strumming (rabattre). Mouton 1698 has dots
after letters for both raking and strumming of RH forefinger, depending
on the position of the accord within a measure.
