Hello Raul;
Actually ? _is_ a function. Some of its arguments are hidden.

Why not use the J term VERB?
Because that describes a different concept.
J's roll (?) is an example of a verb that is not a function:
?9
0
?9
5
Also, if it matters, adverbs and conjunctions can be functions,
even though they are not verbs.
Why does the definition of monadic %: say Square Root but you say
it is not the concept of "square route"?
There, I'm trying to draw a contrast between "function" and
"concept".
Why not include the result
That ground had already been covered.
