In this picture:

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?
It was determined in the extremely lengthy discussion that was had about carna when someone realized that the original definition was broken. Whoever entered Robin's update obviously forgot to include that bit, or alternatively, didn't think it was necessary to mention the obvious.
and can be explicitly stated simply with {li ma'u} (acw} and {li ni'u} (cw), as on a polar coordinate grid.

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.
