An undefined name is assumed to be a verb of infinite rank.

NB. The interpreter appears to assume that an unassigned name is a verb
that has not yet been assigned.

Most verbs don't need parentheses. Why isn't =: a verb?
Also along these lines, explain this:
f=:i
nc <'f'
3
g=:j
nc <'g'
1
Does that explain my question?

Linda, I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make. f and g are
both literal lists. h is a verb and nothing ever gets assigned to i .
Are you thinking the primitive ( =: ) is a combination of the verb ( = )
and
the conjunction ( : ) ?

f and g are both nouns, but they aren't the same noun.
Is f really a noun? If "is" is a verb, isn't "=:" a verb?
