And lindar published only an extract of our conversation. Lindar knew that {farlu} wasn't the most generalised gismu that we could use. It was just an example of this concept. Conlusion: lindar is not stupid. Currently I think that this concept is not related to motion at all. It should be called chirality. If {farna} is just a vector and {klama} is a movement according to such vector then "chirality" is a twisted vector and {carna} is a movement according to such vector. Sorry for such term as "twisted vector" but I'm not an expert in such things.
