Correct. A train is a sequence of verbs -- it parses as a zero or one hooks followed by zero or more forks. Here are some examples:
hook: v1 v0 fork: v2 v1 v0 hook fork: v3 v2 v1 v0 fork fork: v4 v3 v2 v1 v0 hook fork fork: v5 v4 v3 v2 v1 v0 fork fork fork: v6 v5 v4 v3 v2 v1 v0 ... Note that my labels (left of the ':') are not valid J grammar, though they do describe something about the J grammar. You can use a noun in the leftmost tine of a fork. It will act as a verb with a constant result (and that result is the noun). The leftmost tine of a fork would be v2, v4 and/or v6 in the above examples. Here are those examples again with their implicit parenthesis shown: hook: (v1 v0) fork: (v2 v1 v0) hook fork: (v3 (v2 v1 v0)) fork fork: (v4 v3 (v2 v1 v0)) hook fork fork: (v5 (v4 v3 (v2 v1 v0))) fork fork fork: (v6 v5 (v4 v3 (v2 v1 v0))) ... -- Raul On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 11:14 AM, Alexander Epifanov <[email protected]> wrote: > # - verb, = - verb, 3 - not verb => its not a train => tacit, correct? > > On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 7:11 PM, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 5:20 AM, Ric Sherlock <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Note that 3&=@# isn't really tacit in the sense that you aren't using >>> forks or hooks.
