Turn Single Cloverleaf

Bars: 2.

Turn Single Cloverleaf A turn single is turning in a small circle (about the size of a pizza) by yourself. You end up where you started. In a turn single cloverleaf you turn away from the center of your duple minor set.

Playford mostly just says "turn single", modern interpreters have chosen to interpret this sometimes as a cloverleaf.
