The code is for 32bit cells, to keep it readable. For other cell widths adjust the number 32 everywhere.

decimal 
: DLSHIFT ( lo hi n -- lo' hi' )    \ n in [0,32*2]
    tuck lshift >r          \ hi'
    2dup 32 - 
    2dup   lshift >r        \ lower lo to upper hi
    negate rshift >r        \ upper lo to lower hi
    lshift                  \ lo'
    2r> r> or or   ;        \ compose hi'
    
: DRSHIFT ( lo hi n -- lo' hi' )    \ n in [0,32*2]
    tuck 2dup rshift >r     \ hi'
    32 -
    2dup   rshift >r        \ upper hi to lower lo
    negate lshift >r        \ lower hi to upper lo
    rshift 2r> or or        \ compose lo'
    r> ;                    \ hi'

We assume for single cell LSHIFT and RSHIFT:

1. x n shift –> x, for n=0
2. x n shift –> 0, for n not in [0,32-1]. More precise: for n in [-32,-1] or in [32,32*2].

Test your forth. If 2. does not hold:

: LSHIFT ( x n -- x' ) dup 32 u< if lshift exit then 2drop 0 ;
