If I have ROT and negate it with '-' to get the opposite, I get -ROT.
If I have ROT and double it for the '2---' words, I get 2ROT.  But,
which has priority?  If I apply the negation '-' to 2ROT to get the
opposite, I get -2ROT.  If on the other hand, I apply the '2' for
'2---' words to -ROT to double it, I get 2-ROT.  Both of these are
functionally the same but now have different names.  Which of either
-2ROT or 2-ROT is the more common naming? Which is the more elegant
naming? Which makes more sense?

DUP DROP SWAP OVER ROT -ROT
2DUP 2DROP 2SWAP 2OVER 2ROT -2ROT
2DUP 2DROP 2SWAP 2OVER 2ROT 2-ROT
