I can't seem to find any equivalent word for 2-dimensional space. I think
perhaps this gismu is better off being agnostic as to dimension, and new
words made for dimensions.

sefta?

I do not see them as analogous. sefta requires a higher-dimensional object. In fact, I think that it is a shape that is a facet of that object, regardless of the dimensionality of sefta1. canlu seems to be the hypervolume enclosed/occupied by an object. They have different connotations and different requirements. For example, a triangle on its own can be a canlu1 (if we expand the definition to include any hypervolume) but not a sefta1 because it is not a facet of some higher-dimensional object. I have, for some time now, thought that canlu should have an expanded definition to include all dimensions. It could/should also have a terbri to specify "in space/dimensional". It is important to note that, in my opinion, both sefta1 and canlu1 are shapes, not measures of those shapes. Thus, I believe, "1 cubic meter" cannot be canlu1, but a cube (or any other shape), particularly regular ones with side lengths of 1 meter, can.
