The dictionary is wrong; the phrase "the ranks are the maxima
over their ranks" should be deleted.

Thanks for finding and reporting this error.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Rank of Evoke Gerund

The Vocabulary page for Evoke Gerund says, for the first defined case:

> m `: 0  Append  Appends the results of the individual verbs; the ranks
> are the maxima over their ranks

The second example given

>    (+ b.0) ; (%. b.0) ; (+`%.`:0 b.0)
> +-----+-----+-----+
> |0 0 0|2 _ 2|_ _ _|
> +-----+-----+-----+

seems to show that the ranks are, instead, always all infinite; and even 
with two verbs having all zero ranks (such as * and +) the same is true.

Or am I misunderstanding the bit about "the ranks are the maxima"?
