Re: [T3] I Am Curious, Squareback


Just looked it up - "Widdershins &c.  Variants of withershins, (Scottish);
Old English wither = against, Low German sind = journey.  Literally against
the journey (of the sun) = counter clockwise or anti-clockwise".
So you see, the Variants make it Type 3 related.  ;-)

Oddly enough, if clocks had developed in the southern hemisphere, clockwise
would have been the other way!
