the type column may be unneeded for most applications but it provides the same

You are missing out on the more general notion of Atomic Representations.
Gerunds are arrays of verb ARs. ARs are uniquely defined for *any* syntactic
class, though, and you are free to mix them:
a =. +
b =. -
c =. /\
d =. 42
(ar =. 5!:1) ;:'a b c d'

for 5!:1 (and, if you like, its reverse 5!:0); then re-read
http://jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d001.htm to re-check
how the back-tick in '`a b c' is defined.
