Is there a term for the apical/laminal(/subapical) axis in coronals? Or is it a second dimension of POA just for coronals?

The term you are looking for might be "active articulator". POA can be broken down in passive and active articulators, although the latter distinction is rarely employed and people can usually make do with naming just the passive articulator ("labial", "dental", "palatal" etc. instead of "bilabial", "laminodental", "dorso-palatal" etc.)

Thank you so much!
