Ok, we call linespace linespace because it exists in a line.
And we call planespace planespace because it exists in a plane.
We also call realmspace realmspace because it exists in a realm.
So why do we not call tetraspace "flunespace"? It exists in a flune, so for consistency we should.

If you concider this a problem? I see the term simply synonymeous!
1-space = mono-space = line-space
2-space = bi-space = plane-space
3-space = tri-space = realm-space
4-space = tetra-space = flune-space
so more general n-space = [sup]n[/sup]hyperline-space whatever the n-dimensional hyperline be called.
given the context one of these might be more easily used, pe the first version in technical articles, while the last serves purpose in more literary inclined text!
