Re: [lojban] Re: Direction of Rotation

No official decision will be made (Robin won't make up his mind) until someone goes through the corpus and determine how the proposed change affects past usage. I imagine that it may be allowable to ignore uses on IRC, but it's not my call.

The official decision regards the following:

I believe there is still some debate over whether we should insert a place between x1 and x2 for "right" and "left" rotational motion, or to have one word for each, "clockwise" having the exact same place structure as counter-clockwise, and the gismu form "ramli":

gutni : x1 is rotating clockwise viewed from orientation x2 about rotational axis/axes (set if multiple) x3

I favor two words, myself. I don't see the point in having a place in a relationship that can only be filled by two values.
