Oh, wait, I missed the cyclic part. I still think it could be done differently. Why don't we have a cyclic gerund invocation which does not involve " ?
For example, we could add an n value for g`:n which creates a rank _ verb which has an effective rank of -#$g Anyways, I really don't like the inconsistent overlap with the existing m"n implementation. That's just asking for obscure (and hard to debug) problems.
