They way that it helped me was to understand that it was really two symbols put together. The traveling arrow and the rotation arrow. I have found that the reason many people have a hard time understanding the combination is not because of the traveling arrow but the rotation. I have found that it isn't an easy one to teach with just words. I have to show someone how rotations work. ;-)
