@ and / both bind more weakly on their left side than on their right It's actually slightly different though, because @ also binds tightly on it's right side. (And, there's a subtle exception in that, which almost never gets used - if you omit its right side, its left side binding becomes far weaker (and the result will want to bind on *its* left side, to get something to bind to the right side of the @).)
Try this: 9!:3]5 NB. use linear display form for verb/adverb/.. results meanie=: +/ % # @ ] meanie Does any of this help?
