There are two issues here, I think, or maybe three. One issue is how the parser treats the name. Since it has an adverb definition, it is using adverb parsing rules. Another issue is that names normally vanish when the associated word gets "executed", and that has not yet happened here. The third, "maybe" issue has to do with the dictionary sentence mentioning proverbs. Would "proadverbs" be "proverbs"? I do not know. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
