While Henry's solution is somewhat brilliant, dont overlook straightforward
2 (- (2 : 'u@:v : (u v)') +:) 5
_8
which is your official replacement for missing ]. and [.
BTW, I always found gerund cases of } and ^: arbitrary, illogical and hard to
remember.
For me "logical" would be something along the lines of:
1. Verbs inside gerund are applied monadically if composite verb is monadic
context, dyadically otherwise.
2. 2 element gerunds create monadic case (g1} g2) and 3 element gerunds create
dyadic case (g1 g2} g3)
Is there justification for actual case?
