C:\j601\system\extras\help\dictionary\d310n.htm The dewcription of the : conjunction, in note 5, where it says:
The names x and y denote the left and right arguments. In defining a conjunction it may be necessary to refer to its left and right arguments (using u and v) as well as to the arguments of the resulting verb (x and y); likewise, an adverb may refer to its left argument (using u) as well as to the arguments of the resulting verb (x and y). The use of m instead of u restricts the corresponding argument to being a noun, as does the use of n instead of v .
