This verb might accomplish what you want,
process=. 4 : '(x ; (5!:1)<''y'')`:6'"0
*: ` -: `^ process 3 1 0
9 0.5 1
*: ` -: `^ process i.3 5
0 1 4 9 16
2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5
22026.5 59874.1 162755 442413 1.2026e6
I there a tacit (verb) counterpart? Actually, the verb above is a rough
transcription of a wicked verb I wrote several years ago,
Process=. ,^:(0:`(<'`:'))&6@:([ ; <@:((,'0') ,&:< ])@:])"0
For what is worth,
stp 111
*: ` -: `^ process i.3 5
*: ` -: `^ Process i.3 5

Beware, wicked entities are endangered species whose habitat has been
reduced by the relentless advance of civilization. However, Process still
works (at least it runs on J901 beta-c).
Are there orthodox tacit versions of the verb process (and Process)? In
theory, yes; in practice, ...
What about repeating arguments? Since,
process b.0
0 0 0
*:` -: `^ process 3 1 0 3
|length error: process
| *:`-:`^ process 3 1 0 3
However, as Raul suggested, one could reshape the gerund,
*:` -: `^ (({.@:$@:] $ [) process ]) 3 1 0 3
9 0.5 1 9
*:` -: `^ (({.@:$@:] $ [) process ]) i.4 5
0 1 4 9 16
2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5
22026.5 59874.1 162755 442413 1.2026e6

I hope it helps.
