Maybe something like this (making up my own verbs)?
verbnum=: 13 : '":*:>{:y'
verbstr=: 13 : '''Pennsylvania '',>{:y'
doit=: verbnum`verbstr @. ((' ' = [: {. 0 $ [: > {:))"1
]toit=: ('ho';40),:99;'Ave.'
+--+----+
|ho|40 |
+--+----+
|99|Ave.|
+--+----+
doit toit
1600
Pennsylvania Ave.
The results of the two verbs have to be compatible since they'll be joined.
To check the type, I avoided "3!:0" and used the old idiom of comparing
space to the overtake of the zero reshape of the item to typecheck.
Using "3!:0" might look like this:
doit=: verbnum`verbstr @. (2=[:3!:0[:>{:)"1
