single word requests - How do you form the 'north' and 'south' versions of 'occident' and 'orient'?


How does one correctly form the "north" and "south" forms for which occident and orient are "west" and "east"?


I found boreal and austral, but those look like adjectives and I'm after the nouns.


Bonus: what about "up" and "down"?
