. (dot) is a conjunction. See its entry in the dictionary for the definition of u . v , and Appendix E of the dictionary for the part of speech of a symbol.
Not all trigraphs are forks. For example, & is another conjunction and u&v is not a fork and x u&v y is not (x u y) & (x v y) . A fork is an isolated sequence u v w where u, v, and w are verbs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yuvaraj Athur Raghuvir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, October 1, 2006 6:25 am Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] J FAQ > Thanks! > > However, I donot fully understand why mp works, where, > mp =: +/ . * > > Assuming this is a fork, I should have > x mp y <=> x(+/ . *) y <=> (x +/ y) .
