Hi Jakub,

Good question, the vector rotation for byte looks like (others are similar):

vrlb VRT,VRA,VRB
  do i=0 to 127 by 8
   sh = (VRB)[i+5:i+7]
   VRT[i:i+7] = (VRA)[i:i+7] <<< sh
  end

It only takes care of the counts from 0 to prec-1 (inclusive) [log2(prec) bits]
So it's fine even operands[2] are zero or negative.

Take byte as example, prec is 8.
  - rot count is 0, then minus res gets 8. (out of 3 bits range), same as 0.
  - rot count is 9, then minus res gets -1. (3 bits parsed as 7), the original 
    rot count 9 was parsed as 1 (in 3 bits range).
  - rot count is -1, then minus res gets 9, (3 bits parsed as 1), the original
    rot count was parsed as 7 (in 3 bits range).

It's a good idea to just use negate!  Thanks!!
