As a non-native English reader, I now am not sure if this is a Pratchett reference or if these are actual round world terms…
Comment on How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?

Pratchett’s just using real-world (albeit archaic) terms: widdershins and deosil.

Ironically, I believe ‘turnwise’ is the one that’s made up – by Terry Pratchett.

I always heard it as ‘deosil and widdershins’
