corners
Explanation:
Hi, Nergal.

I am afraid you have a typo here. The Greek word should be "απολήξεις".

This word usually means "ends" but in the case of a rhomb we can only have "corners".

acuminations


Explanation:
"Απολήξεις" (apoLIxis) is the correct term and means "acuminations". Although is this case (the diamond shape), "with rounded corners" could be preferable.
