Hello Roger;

Point taken. In fact, my attempt at reworking:

 13 : ',x. i. y.'
[: , i.

doesn't apply because

     (,x) {iota} y  <=> , x {iota} y

is an identity that only works in APL.

Moral: {iota} is not i.

Because it is not the same verb.  , i. ]  is
equivalent to  (x,y) i. y  .  In fact:

  13 : '(x,y) i. y'
, i. ]

Hello Roger;

Why not:

  ,i.]
