it makes me a little irrationaly upset that we have left and right, both one syllable words
but the naval version of left and right, is a one syllable Port, and a two syllable Starboard
Right and left are relative to your perspective. Port and starboard are relative to the ship and dont change if you're facing aft.
As for syllable count, eh vOv
Stage left, stage right
