Is "left" a "movement in a specific direction" as in "go left at the next
lights" or the "amount of stuff left over"? It is a bit ambiguous. Even if
it is a direction, is it moving towards the first or the last item? It is
not self-evident. As a user of the Latin alphabet I'd assume it was going
towards the first item but a Hebrew or Arabic users might assume it was
heading towards the end.
