You can be a little more specific about built-in primitives, using the assumptions above by default, but also checking for the following specific exceptions: m :n determines syntax class of result based on m (which is a constant 99% of the time) [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also @: &:) is a noun (undocumented distribution over gerunds) m&n is a noun (undocumented distribution over gerunds) 5!:0 returns an adverb ` always returns a noun, regardless of its parameters m~ and m f. results depends on variable whose name is in m > Underline/italics and colour codes can help > readers parse sentence as J will.
