It is indeed an event of carna, but "carna" has no place for the orientation 
at which the turning stops, which is why we need a new word. I think that x2, 
not x3, should be the orientation when it finishes turning, for consistency 
with "klama" and "plipe".

"carna fi lo berti" means that the direction of turning was north, which 
implies that the axis of turning passes through the north. It says nothing 
about which way Gerald was facing when he stopped turning.
