What Brian is pointing out is that for the use case you're studying, both the definitions you quoted are irrelevant.
Because your use of & appears in the left tine of a hook, it will be invoked dyadically. That is, with two arguments: x and y . You need to look for definitions of & which involve x and y . But take heed of Raul's warning. Even when you've identified the applicable definition and valence of & , there's still rank to consider before you can make any substitutions. In short: you can't apply these identities (or any other in the dictionary) blindly. Context is important. -Dan Please excuse typos; composed on a handheld device.
