Which term describes bowing with two adjacent strings like a tremolo?

Explanation:
Ondulé denotes a wavy, undulating bow stroke used on two adjacent strings to produce a tremolo-like effect between the notes. This technique involves alternating the bow between the two strings rapidly, creating a continuous, shimmering double-stop. The other terms describe tempo or expressive changes (quickening, broadening, or fading), not the specific bowing pattern between two strings.
