Thanks to Viktor and R.E. Boss for their improvements and
specially to Viktor for focusing my attention on Evoke Gerund!
I did the syntactic analysis of Viktor's tacit adverb D.
D=:{.!.("_1)~(`(_1-i.@:#))(`:6)
D
(((({.!.)("_1))~)(`(_1 - (i.@:#))))(`:6)
adv =:(({.!.)("_1))~
verb =:_1 - i.@:#
In steps,
(adv (`verb)) (`:6)
(adv (`verb)) adv
(adv adv ) adv
adv adv
adv
and 22 (adv (`verb)) (`:6)
22 adv
verb
An adverb is much like a radical with an unpaired electron
looking for another unpaired electron to make a covalent bond:
it is highly reactive!
