You replace them with abscissa and ordinate actually. And Z will be applicate, it seems, although I already heard azimuth used for this one. I'm not aware of a dedicated terms for higher dimensions, so your beautiful (w,x,y,z) quaternion tuple is a big deal, isn't it.

Anyway, you can always use an array `coordinates` with whatever dimensions you want.
