Hi! If we want to avoid clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) I suggest to add a sign to the rotation, which should be trivial to translate:
Mathematics/complex plane stuff tells that: CCW = positive rotation = rotate + = rot+ CW = negative rotation = rotate - = rot- In german we can use "rotieren +" und "rotieren -".
