Do you mean  3 (* + %...@]) 2 ?

During execution, whether a verb should be monadic or dyadic is not
determined by the verb itself, but rather from the context, eg in the
pattern   
  noun verb noun
the verb is expected to be dyadic and will raise a domain error if
the dyad part of verb is not defined. Similarly for the pattern
  verb noun

The verb %...@] in the above is still executed as a dyad but only the
left argument is being ignored.
