Thanks your sources are helpful.
Here's another weird one. Grammar says that parentheses are punctuation.
o=:(+)
o
+
nc <'o'
3
o=:()
|syntax error
| o=:()
o=:(
|syntax error
| o=:(
o=:'('
o
(
nc <'o'
0
Does this say ( is a noun?

Linda,
f =: '=:' NB. f is a string of two characters
$f
2
Your g appears to be a string of three characters.
About your sentence attempting to define i check for a space between =
and :
Finally, about =: please see Appendix E. Parts of Speech:
http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/dictionary/partsofspeech.htm
There you will see =: is not a "verb" in the J sense of that term. Also
see II. Grammar
http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/dictionary/dict2.htm
where =: is identified as a sixth "part of speech" Copula.
