When I read that statement I wasn't clear that "the four classes" signified, 
noun, verb, adverb & conjunction. I looked at the examples that followed it and 
they all seemed to be verbs.

   a=: *:&+
   4!:0 <'a'
3
   b=: ^&2
   4!:0 <'b'
3
   c=: 2&^
   4!:0 <'c'
3

So I thought "the four classes" referred to the four following constructs:
   verb conj verb
   verb conj noun
   noun conj verb
   noun conj noun

Thanks for your patience!
