Yes.  And it does the same for the dyadic case.

I wonder why this was done; and whether this or anything else should be done in this case.

it applies the first verb. ignoring 2nd, and if there are more length error.

Hard to see usefulness, and if there was some, v0`v1`...vn^:n should behave 
like v0^:n

Though, I'm fine with error.

    +`*`- i.5

is simply an execution of dyad i., looking up 5 in the boxed list.


     +`*:^:_1 i.5
    0 1 2 3 4

    seems to result in y

    gerund not length 2 is a length error?

    other n seem to be domain errors including 0

Now you're getting warm.  The first statement is false, the other two
are true.

I'm ok with making this an error, rather than "improving" functionality to do something 
"powerful"

No.  All I see are domain errors when you try gerund^:n .  The question
is, For what values of gerund and n does gerund^:n not fail, and what
does it do then?

(I already know the answer because I'm looking at the source code,
wondering whether this is functionality we ought to keep)

For certain gerunds and certain n,

gerund^:n

does not produce an error.  What does it do?
