I can't find anything special.
1. "clock" metaphor.
2. Earth rotation
3. Screws

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

Typical nuts, screws, bolts, and bottle caps are tightened (moved away= from the observer) clockwise and loosened (moved towards the observer) cou= nterclockwise, in accordance with the right-hand rule.

In English screw, nut, 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 tornil= lo, tuerca, perno

In Arabic =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 + TOrnil= lo
It's not my final decision, though.

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

Another option is the Earth. Wh= ich is even romantic. But why should we stick to the North? Just because we= are living in the north hemisphere? What australian jbopre would say?

So these are my thoughts.
.a'o you find= other solutions.

As far as the word to use,= {bolto} seems fine to me. Heck, we could use more ends-in-o words in Lojba= n, anyway.

Sorry, I've changed my mind.

Specifying "clockwise" with a metaphor of the Sun th= at is moving on the sky is adequate in the northern hemisphere only.= Yes, it's not fair.

But why not directly refer to what hemisp= here we are in ?!!

1. In the Northern hemisphe= re the Sun and the stars move clockwise east to south to west. Therefore, i= t can be called the Southern Rotating Sky.

2. In the Southern hem= isphere the situation is the opposite.

Now about s= ounding.

I'll do something which won't follow the algorithm of= creating gismu. You must understand me. I'm creating a new complex = concept. I want something common for at least one nation, Chines= e nation. English and Spanish words are too long. And I don't want to avera= ge sounds of 6 languages because it's me who suggests this concept. And it = would be stupid to average something that is absent in those languag= es.

So in Mandarin

nan2 - south

ri4 - the Sun (some may argue that it's actually pronounced as [zhi] but = as in lojban it's {solri} I'll retain it as [r])
