I was trying to create a word for "clockwise"/"counte= rclockwise".
solar metaphor is good because this is what ancient = people used.
It's global and universal for the whole planet.

As for "turn to the left/right" I didn't do any work.<= /div>

As yesterday Robin said that "rotate in general" w= ithout specifying clockwise or counterclockwise was also a concept then we = needed.

So for now I'm not proposing any new gismu= .
{bolto,nanju,berju} are obsolete.

Let'= s get back to discussing places once again.

May be= we can revise my suggestion of {carna fi lo pritu/zunle} with modified x2 = once again?

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 a= nd 2000):
