Raul's idea leads to a considerable simplification:
cut1a=: 1 : '<@[ u&> <;....@]'
'aa' <@,~ cut1a ' now is the time'
+------+-----+------+-------+
| nowaa| isaa| theaa| timeaa|
+------+-----+------+-------+
'bbb' <@,~ cut1a ' now is the time'
+-------+------+-------+--------+
| nowbbb| isbbb| thebbb| timebbb|
+-------+------+-------+--------+
<@,~ cut1
(-:"_1 _ {.)@] (>@{...@[ <@,~ >@])/@|:;.1 <@[ ,. <"_...@]
<@,~ cut1a
<@[ <@,~&> <;....@]
