The general pattern is:
   a,a,a,a,a,:a

The verb which joins the last two is special, or your verb examines
the structure of the argument and makes a choice based on that.

That said, another approach is:
   2#,:a
   3#,:a
   ...
   6#,:a

That said, if you really want a verb which exactly corresponds to your
initial draft of your spec:

V=:4 :0
  if.2=#$y do. x,:y else. x,y end.
)

I hope this helps,
