Now let's find so= me sounding for it?

How do major (and minor!) lang= uages express this "clockwise" concept?

I can't fi= nd anything special.

1. "clock" metaphor.

2. Eart= h rotation

3. Screws

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

Typical nuts, s= crews, bolts, and bottle caps are tightened (moved away from the observer) = clockwise and loosened (moved towards the observer) counterclockwise, in ac= cordance with the right-hand rule.

In Eng= lish screw, nut, bolt

In Russian =D0=B2=D0=B8=D0=BD=D1=82, = =D0=B3=D0=B0=D0=B9=D0=BA=D0=B0, =D0=B1=D0=BE=D0=BB=D1=82 [vint, gaika, bolt= ]

In Chinese =E8=9E=BA=E4=B8=9D=EF=BC=8C=E8=9E=BA=E6=AF=8D=EF= =BC=8C=E8=9E=BA=E6=A0=93 [Lu=C3=B3s=C4=AB, lu=C3=B3m=C7=94, lu=C3=B3shu=C4= =81n]

In Spanish tornillo, tuerca, perno

In Arabi= c =D8=A7=D9=84=D9=85=D8=B3=D9=85=D8=A7=D8=B1=D8=8C =D9=88=D8=A7=D9=84=D8=AC= =D9=88=D8=B2=D8=8C =D9=88=D8=A7=D9=84=D8=AA=D8=B1=D8=A8=D8=A7=D8=B3

And I suggest

{bolto} =3D BOLT + LuO + TOrnillo

It's= not my final decision, though.

<rlpowell> my inst= inct is to object, but I don't think I have any actual good reasons, so: su= re, that looks fine. :)
<rlpowell> (that = is: using "screw" to mean "rotation" seems odd to me, but I understand your= arguments)

Another op= tion is the Earth. Which is even romantic. But why should we stick to the N= orth? Just because we are living in the north hemisphere? What australian j= bopre would say?

So these are my thoughts.

.a'o you find other solutions.
