Rau, What you describe as scripts I think of as definitions, since they allow the user to define the structure of nouns, verbs, conjunctions or adverbs. I also like bill's term of paragraph since it bridges naturally between the parts of speech and the longer form of files using the J 'english language' paradigm. In my internal mental model, I often use the term scripts when thinking about .ijs files.
