A gerund is a noun, so in   +`*`-`- i. 33   it's more accurate to say that
i. is applied to the gerund and 33 rather than the gerund is applied to i.
, and an easier explanation of why the result is 4.

I think the first time I saw gerund insert, Ken Iverson showed off

    +`%/10# 1x

13r8


getting Fibonacci approximations to the Golden ratio, so I always expected
it to be "from the front".


Seeing this thread, I decided to experiment but forgot to "insert" and got
something unexpected:


    +`* i.3

2

    +`* 0 1 2

|syntax error

| +`*0 1 2


    +`* i.33

2

    +`*`-`- i.33

4

Gerund applied to i. gives the length of the gerund?!
