in J 6.02, v=verb, a=adverb, c=conjunction
 

v a c v is allowed and equivalent to:
v a (c v)  NB. best I can tell

 v a v c is allowed, but instead of 

v a (v c), it is equivalent to (v a v) c which doesn't obey parsing rules or my 
understanding.

Is there a reason why the full sentence:
a c v or a v c should give a syntax error instead of mean the adverb:
a (c v) or a (v c)


while v c v c v is traditionally parsed as:
(v c v) c v
I don't believe it loses anything by parsing it as:
(v (c v))(c v)
