~ is not evoke; its meaning depends on the part of speech of its operand. m~ is evoke; u~ is reflexive/passive. I suspect that the case on the Vocabulary page was intended to make that distinction.
If so, perhaps it should be consistent in the description of b. . m b. is Boolean, u b. is Basic; should it be shown as Basic / BOOLEAN ?
