What is the correct spacing in e.g. of a lyx document

Using chktex in tool tells me:
Interword spacing (`\ ') should perhaps be used.
so I tried these variations:
x e.g. y
x \e.g. y
x e.\g. y
x e.g.\ y
this is the correct one, because the dot is not the end of a sentence.
See
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2229/is-a-period-after-an-abbreviation-the-same-as-an-end-of-sentence-period
sometimes also written with a space between: x e.\ g.\ y
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(E)#exempli_gratia
I use:
\def\eg{e.g.\ }
x \eg y
