Terms for the lead article will recur. Squares have SD, cubes have both SD and ND, and hexagons have ND only. Square diagonal one-step and cube diagonal one-step (whether SD or ND) are root-2. None of them have to be one-step only, they can keep going, and these are all root-2.
 [Correction added in these brackets later is that ND cubes of course is root-3.  Gilman's comment above cites his text couple of sentences explaining the rationale for identity of all NDs.] 
However hex ND is root-3. Switching can be used describing ranks or files or differently bindings.  EINHORN (UNICORN) is 100 years old with Raumschach. That summarizes MB01:CC.
