 (This probably shows my ignorance,) but if y is a variable then y points to 
some values.  I’d like to know “the pointer” rather than "the values”.    I 
very/extremely vaguely understand these things work on stacks with the y values 
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” ~.
