'see?'  ]# 1 2 3 4

is an explicit sentence without a hook.
Monadic use distinguishes these:

   *# 1 2 3 4  NB. explicit, * is signum
1

   (*#) 1 2 3 4  NB. tacit hook, * is multiply
4 8 12 16

Were you to name *# your proverb would behave as the hook (*#). Were you to name (*#) your proverb would retain its original functionality as the tacit hook.



Next let's digest Note .

   Note
3 : '0 0 $ 0 : 0' :[

Note is a verb with definitions for both valences.
The explicit  monadic definition returns  the noun
generated with  0 :0 reshaped  to 0 0 .   Hence it
eats ensuing text to the isolated ) .  The tacit
dyadic definition is "left same".  Thus,

   22r7 Note 'Pi-ish.  Note documents nouns'
22r7
