A noun is replaced by its value before the sentence is executed.

loaded on a stack before v gets to act on them.  That is why perhaps I thought it 
could be an adverb or conjunction:  a counterpart to “evoke” ~.

Impossible - v never sees y, only its value.

Is there an “inverse" to this?

That is I want a verb v (or adverb or conjunction) so that if y is a variable 
then

v y

is the name (ie string) of the variable.
