We revisit the construction of higher spin representations by Kleinschmidt and Nicolai for E10, generalize it to arbitrary simply laced types, and provide a coordinate-free approach to the (3/2)-spin and (5/2)-spin representations. Moreover, we discuss the relationship between our findings and the representation theory of Sym3 pointed out to us by Levy.
Keywords: Simply laced real Kac-Moody algebra, spin representation.
