I am unable to determine how to write an explicit J adverb that
produces a dyadic verb. There is an example of an explicit conjunction
at

http://www.rogerstokes.free-online.co.uk/13.htm

   H =: 2 : 0
:
(u x) + (v y)
)
   2 (*: H %:) 16
8

and other such constructions work with no problems.

However,

   a=.1 : 0
​:
​​x u y
​)
|spelling error
|   ​x u y
|   ^
|   a=.    1 :0

   a=.1 : 'x u y'
   a
1 : 'x u y'
   2 +a 3
|domain error
|   2    +a 3

Of course, I could write

a=.1 : '[ u ]'

but that would require reordering topics in the J version of Iverson's
Algebra: An Algorithmic Treatment that I am editing, and would still
leave the mystery.
