DefinitionShort: the direction between north and west
Glosses: northwest
Comments: The difference in expression is due to designating the directions of the wind either as the direction from which the wind comes or the direction toward which the wind blows. See commentaries.|In rendering directions which are not cardinal points, one may often use a variety of expressions, for example, ‘between north and west’ or ‘from the north a little west’ or ‘to the north of west.’ A high percentage of languages designate directions by reference to the rising and setting of the sun. Accordingly, {S:04402701200058} may be rendered as ‘a harbor that is open to the sea to the left of the setting sun and to the right of the setting sun.’
