3 : 'm...@.(v n) y' .  Unfortunately for tacit fans, it's not tacit.

More on the point:  it is desirable but not mandatory for
the 8 variations of a conjunction to be related
  m conj n y
x m conj n y
  m conj v y
x m conj v y
  u conj n y
x u conj n y
  u conj v y
x u conj v y ,

just as it is the case that it is desirable but not mandatory
for the monad and dyad of a verb be related.

I once told Ken that the 8 cases from each conjunction and
the 4 cases from each adverb provide such an embarrassment
of riches that EVEN HE will need some time to assign meanings
to all of them.
