Fun fact about some languages no having words for left/right.
This helps with orientation (important for navigation) but also stuff like arranging items east to west according to age.

There’s another great example of a language based on a small island with a hill/mountain in the middle where their words for direction are polar. Essentially, clockwise/anticlockwise and shoreward/inland, instead of left/right and forward/back.

Ah yes, turnwise and widdershins.
