Yes, of course, but we have to make old usage continue to work, is
the problem.
{carna} definition has been translated to 5 lan= guages: spanish, esperanto, hungarian, russian...
Why not make {c= arna} obsolete and create one* new new sweet-sounding gismu?

*two (or three)

The point is to divide the meaning of carna= into the previously stated "turn" and "rotate" senses,= and possibly to divide "rotate" into cw and ccw directions. So, = if we made carna "obsolete", we'd need more than just one new= gismu.

Exactly.=A0
And= old and new {carna} would create misunderstanding. And I guess it's no= t a problem to replace {carna} with {carna-NEW} in the corpus and in tatoeb= a.

Redefining carna would mean less effort than obsoleti= ng it.
