Re: [lojban] Direction of Rotation

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

I had an idea. Things can only move circularly in one of two directions. Why not just use {carna fi li pa} and {carna fi li re}, or even {carna fi lo pritu} and {carna fi lo zunle}?

Maybe something like {prityfalgu'o} and {zulfalgu'o}?

That's fairly inaccurate. Rotation has nothing to with gravity, and falling /requires/ it. It is perfectly possible for something to move/rotate in a clockwise direction without falling. Every celestial body that isn't rotating counter-clockwise does it. (technically: the rotation of the Earth has nothing to do with the fact that the Earth is perpetually falling toward Sol.)
