I have a longer text. Let's say I have a numbered list, like this, 

    (1) Item 1
    
    (2) Item 2
    
    (3) Item 3

Later I want to reference the list, such as 

    "... as described above, cf. (1) and (2) ..." 

However, numbers in brackets (1) are already reserved for formulas in my text. How can I reference these points? I was thinking about "bullet point (1)" and "bullet point (2)". However, they aren't really bullet points. Any ideas?
