What Wikipedia says

In Gothic architecture, a lierne is a tertiary rib connecting one rib of a rib vault to another, as opposed to connecting to a springer, or to the central boss. The resulting construction is called a lierne vault or stellar vault (named after the star shape generated by connecting liernes).
