The quadropolar splittings and the spin-lattice relaxation data measured in the columnar phase of two differently deuterated HAT6 molecules are interpreted. Modeling the splittings using the AP method allows to obtain the orienting potential needed to describe the reorientational dynamics of molecular disks. It is emphasized that the tumbling motion of a disk can be slightly faster than its spinning motion.
