If I may throw in my two cents worth. Tacit expressions are somewhat vague as to what they are. To over-simplify, they are verb expressions missing noun arguments due to lack of noun arguments in the statement or being enclosed in parentheses. Adverbs and conjunctions have nothing to do with whether or not an expression is tacit. They simply use verbs and nouns as their arguments which then result in new verbs using the same rules for the modifier whether in a tacit expression or not.
In analyzing a statement one should first resolve how modifiers build new verbs. Then once the verbs are determined determine if the noun arguments are missing. If they are missing, look to the three tacit rules for verbs - forks, hooks and trains. Otherwise, follow the normal right-to-left rule for verb execution. Okay. Maybe one could consider the statement (+/1 2 3) as having the expression (+/) tacit. I don't know. As I said earlier, tacit expressions are somewhat vague.
