I know it's rather presumptuous of me coming into this project from the sidelines, but, given the idea is to make things easier for novices, I do feel careful consideration should be given to J names.
For example, in the names of Ian Clark's stubs: = equal =. equalperiod =: equalcolon < less <. lessperiod <: lesscolon > greater >. greaterperiod >: greatercolon Surely it should be equaldot &c. simply because, for a novice it's one syllable rather than three and for someone needing an English dictionary it's less ambiguous. Even more pedantically, less and greater strictly refer to magnitudes and lower and higher would be better. Otherwise, less means subtraction and lesser would be better than less.
