For X element combinatorial repeats we have a term and definition in Yeast Genome.

Formerly known as subtelomeric repeats (STRs), X element combinatorial repeats are located between the X element core sequence and the telomere or adjacent Y' element, and are usually present as a combination of one or more of several types of smaller elements (designated A, B, C, or D). X element combinatorial repeats contain Tbf1p binding sites, and possible functions include a role in telomerase-independent telomere maintenance via recombination or as a barrier against transcriptional silencing.
