Here they are... One can find an old Dictionary's relevant information at Martin's site: F. Trains (gaertner.de) <http://juggle.gaertner.de/ref/dictionary/dictf.htm> http://juggle.gaertner.de/ref/dictionary/dictf.htm
I was never fully fluent because there were too many forms for me to remember. However, the decision to remove most of them rendered the programming of tacit conjunctions impossible. Remarkably, the programming of tacit adverbs survived and it is, for the most part, complete. Years later I realized that the last form in the list ( C0 A1 conj (x C0 y) A1 ) would alone make the programming of tacit conjunctions also complete, for the most part. Alas, all this is academic because it has been made abundantly clear that none of those forms removed will ever come back to the official language. I have that last form restored in my custom version of J not because is necessary (my version treats verbs, and adverbs and conjunctions, as genuine first-class citizens and reduces tacit conjunctional programming to tacit dyadic verbal programming) but as a tribute to the foresight (fully conscious or otherwise).
