Most dangerously the chronometers with which I was familiar on my former world not only divided the day differently, but marked the divisions in a different order. On my former world the hands of chronometers begin to rotate to the right, whereas in your chronometers they begin to rotate to the left. Your concept of "clockwise" is thus opposite to that with which I was familiar. When I thought of Gorean time, as it might be measured by a chronometer, I always thought of it analogously to the chronometers of my former world; thus, in my mind I would think of the Fifth ahn as to the right of the Twentieth ahn, rather than, as you would think of it, as to the left of the Twentieth ahn. Grendel, of course, would be thinking in terms of the Gorean chronometer. Accordingly, if a large Gorean chronometer had been placed flat before the great portal, and one was to move toward the Sixth ahn one would go to the left and not the right. In any event, I sped from the portal, aligning myself with where the imaginary Sixth ahn would lie. - (Conspirators of Gor, Chapter )
