And I am changing the meaning of neither, I am simply saying that in this case, while the usage of turn still refers to a player turn, given the earlier mention of the shooting phase, when parsed as a whole it only restricts the shooting phase, for a single player turn.

The reference to the shooting phase is because the portal is activated in the shooting phase.

The wargear clearly states that the model cannot move or shoot in the turn it activates the portal.

If you moved the model that game turn, no activating the portal.

Like I say, I consider it to be simply a matter of being unclear, and would love a FAQ about it, but both of the two readings are valid.

I suppose if you think a model can't move or assault at all in the turn it deploys a webway portal it seems I won't be able to convince you to see otherwhise even though there's no flaw in my reading of it, it's simply a flaw with the language used.

It is not unclear, but feel free to consider it whatever you like.
"Turn" is defined. "Turn" is used.
