(or do - the advantage of do being that it's a name so you can specify which locale to use). 128!:2 (string should represent a verb) "absolute power" (see http://tinyurl.com/kf856cx) form a gerund and pass to an evoking verb (e.g. 4 :'x`:6 y') -- here, the string would be used in forming the gerund. form a string and pass to a defining adverb (e.g. (3 :)). Start with an array of gerunds and an evoking structure such that you work with indices which select the appropriate operation. Here, I'm not sure what use a string would be. And of course, there are other possibilities. The real issue is: what do you want to accomplish?
