What were clockwise and anti-clockwise called before clocks were invented?

@Kiss_My_Axe
Forwards and Backwards? -
@Wolfie_11 nooo..I was thinking of cyclonic and anticyclonic but then again I realized that, they too, were based on the "clock"

Were they?
Well then, I guess forwards and backwards it is, eh? -
@Kiss_My_Axe
Oh dip, that's... that's a good one!
I like the idea of 'sunward' but it would imply knowledge of orbital bodies and only describe an East-West motion, the rest would have to be inferred. Oh context!
Terry Pratchett's Discworld books have 'spinward' in them which does the same thing. -
right and wrong direction
-
@Kiss_My_Axe Left and Right :joy:
-
@Richard-Burton hahaha..no!!!!lmao

@Kiss_My_Axe but one rotates to the left and the other rotates to the right. Therefor it would just be right and left
-
@Kiss_My_Axe
Right hand circular
Left hand circular -
@nik-sub-blz yeah...This is possible!

@Kiss_My_Axe How early are we talking about here?

@1-618 lol..haha

@Kiss_My_Axe Follow me back, I have to tell you something. Can't say that in public.
-
@Kiss_My_Axe could have been a simple left and right. But the sundial has been around for a while, so maybe "dialwise" and "counter dial wise". Just a thought.
-
@Johnny_Stranger brilliant!!this is possible
