Ne, NW, SE, and SW are called ordinal directions or intercardinal directions. They represent the intermediate points between the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. Specifically, NE stands for Northeast, NW for Northwest, SE for Southeast, and SW for Southwest, providing more precise navigational references.

Several possibilities: NE, NW, SE, SW
there are at least 4, they are N and S, E and W, NW and SE, NE and SW
" N, E, S, W, NE, SE, SW, NW, NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, and NNW"

The "cardinal points" of a compass are north, south, east and west. In between these are the "semi-cardinal" points,, NE, NW, SE, and SW.
Intermediate directions are the directions or points that would fall in between the standard N, S, E, W points on a compass. These include NE, NW, SE, and SW.
Cardinal directions are the four regular directions such as north south east and west. Intermediate are the directions in between the cardinal directions such as NW, SW, NE, SE.
