I think the normal use would be to call all of them oktaavamerkki, and
say then something about "one octave down" or something like that. I mean,
8va obviously is an abbreviation, and 8vb even more, since the b means an own 
word (bassa).
so yes, let's just have it oktaavamerkki (I actually would prefer -merkintä, 
since it applies to a longer section and consists also of the dottet line).
