I don't see anything to object to here.  There are gerunds and adverbs, producing trains that evaluate properly.

By The Wise I mean the /ulama/ of J (neminem nominabo, genus hominum significasse contentus)  You know who you are.

That is good to know.

I don't see anything bad coming from executing a train containing
non-verbs; so I would vote to expand the spec to include all trains.
I do not see anything bag coming either, on the contrary.

There would need to be discussion among The Wise before any such change.
May I offer some food for thought to The Wise?

I would expect that whatever is decided regarding the legality in J about
the train's (`:6) arguments would, or should, affect its capable relative,
agenda (@.), specifically the m@.n form; for instance, do The Wise, or you,
in particular, think that the following sentences, supported by j901, are
legal or illegal in J?

    a=. (`(;:'@:-"'))(@.(4 ;~ (<0 2 1 3 1 2 0)))

    u`v a
(u@:v - v@:u)"

    _1 *:`(+/) a i. 2 3 4
   64  118  184  262

What the implementation does is accept any train and evaluate it.
Thinking about it I don't see anything else you could do with a train; &

Ye Dic mentions only verb trains under `: .
Therefore, the sentence ((<,'"') ` (an 1) (`:6)) is illegal in J
because "1
is not a train of verbs (even if it is supported by j).  Correct? (This
is
not a rhetorical question.)
