After a bit of swotting up I have a suggestion to make concerning the old 'clockwise/anti-clockwise' chestnut. In the gi'uste the entry for dikca (electricity) gives the lujvo for electron current as mardikca (reference electricity) and positive current as dutydikca (opposite electricity) without reference to positive and negative. Applying this idea to rotation we get marcarna for anti-clockwise/reference rotation and dutcarna for clockwise/opposite rotation. co'o mi'e dn.
