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}?

We could also use "positive" and "negative" ({carna li ma'u}/{carna li ni'u}? "li" doesn't seem appropriate in this case...), with "positive" being counter-clockwise, in line with polar coordinate notation, but that still doesn't address the reference frame problem.
