Ana

adv

Etymology: From Ancient Greek; see ana-.

1. In a direction analogous to up, but along the additional axis added by the fourth dimension.

   “Your right half would move ana, let us say, and your left half would move kata. The two halves would, in their parallel spaces, move past the plane of rotation, and then they would swing back into our space.”

   “Added to the conventional FPS control keys are two extra keys that move the player in ana and kata direction in 4d space. If you go in this extra direction the space around you changes, the room transforms.”
