Question about 漢字 readings. - 07-07-2009, 12:54 AM

Hey guys, today I picked up a book in Barnes and Noble called, "250 Essential Japanese Kanji Characters: Volume 1" and I am enjoying it a lot so far, however there is a question I have for you guys.

When it is talking about the reading of the numbers, it has things like this:
futa-tsu, ni
ふた•つ、ニ
two

My question is what does the ____•つ part mean? It has it in the readings for every number except 十 and 百.

Thanks!

EDIT:
Picture of what I mean.
