Maybe I should elaborate on this a bit more:
] LHS =: ;: 'start-A'
┌─────┬─┬─┐
│start│-│A│
└─────┴─┴─┘
] RHS =: ;: '-'
┌─┐
│-│
└─┘
LHS -. RHS
┌─────┬─┐
│start│A│
└─────┴─┘
(;: 'start-A') -. (;: '-')
┌─────┬─┐
│start│A│
└─────┴─┘
Or was the missing link for you somewhere else?

First, you apply ;._2
Then it’s just a row-wise -.&;:
eg
'start-A' (-.&;:) '-'
┌─────┬─┐
│start│A│
└─────┴─┘

Slowly following the discussion. I confess I’m stuck at how the
composition of -.&;:&’-‘ work in the unpack verb. Try to read the
description of & in NuVoc and LJ, but i confess to still be clueless
as to how J parses it. I experimented a bit but still perplexed. Can
someone point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
