Comment(by novoselt):

 Personal taste: I like "orthogonal" more than "perpendicular" and it is a
 little shorter.

 I would like to have internal names in agreement with public ones, it
 makes it easier to read/modify and helps to avoid bugs, e.g. the following
 code looks strange:
 {{{
 def sublattice_basis(self):
     ...
     if "_sublattice_basis" not in self.__dict__:
         self._compute_N_and_N_complement()
     return tuple( self._lattice(n) for n in self._N.rows() )
 }}}
 In general I think that the best name for caching the result of function
 `f` is `_f`, unless it leads to any conflicts. If you don't want to have
 too long names in the code, I think abbreviations are fine, as long as
 they still clearly relate to the original name, e.g.
 `perpendicular_sublattice_basis` can be cached in something like
 `_perp_sublat_b`.

 How about also `_compute_N_and_N_complement` ===> `_split_ambient_lattice`
 or something like this?
