Could someone explain why the same word can't be used for both? The
main difference seems to be that "turn" usually doesn't require a full
revolution, while "rotate" usually requires many revolutions. but
can't that be distinguished by some other means? We probably need a
word for "revolution" ("carlai"?) then we can specify the fraction or
number of revolutions involved with a spatial tense. Also "turn" is
often volitional, while "rotate" isn't. Is that part of the proposed
difference?

"zulcarna" and "pritycarna" have been used before for laevorotation
and dextrorotation. Why are they inadequate?

I found a couple of discussions about it from prehistoric times (1995 and 2000):
