{jganu} defines the angle by a point (x2) and a line (x3).

I recommend using {radno} or {carna}. You can easily specify "1/8 turn", with {pifi'ubi carna}

And so you know, the direction place in {carna} defaults to anti-clockwise, per the right-hand rule,

what in the official and/or robin's definition of carna says about right-hand rule?

 

and can be explicitly stated simply with {li ma'u} (acw} and {li ni'u} (cw), as on a polar coordinate grid.

Hello everybody,

I was trying to figure out how to express relative angular direction in Lojban, but I've been hindered by the unfathomable definition of {jganu}.

I'd like to translate « From me [vertex], there is a 1/8 leftwise turn angle between East and the mountain » (note: a turn is a complete revolution, otherwordly 360° or 2π rad).
How can I say this in Lojban?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Ilmen.
