The keyword is "define"!

You can just define the first turn to be Right no matter how it is oriented.

If you are not happy with that then just rotate the first segment until it looks Right to you. Then label the other turns.

If you are still not happy with the word Right to denote the first term then just make up new notation. Define the first turn to be 1. Use numbers to denote turns if you object to using Left and Right.
