your unwords is a noun and would need to be interpreted.

All I am saying here is that there is a tiny interpretive overhead to executing

  ;: inv

Almost always, that doesn't matter.  If you are trying to answer the question 'what is the fastest way to perform ;:^:_1 on small arguments?' you need to understand the details so that you can make sense of what you see.  If you are going to be executing it in a short loop, you might also benefit from knowing the details.

Really interesting. So, I thought that maybe inv could be redefined as
(;:^._1).
But all I get is:

inv_z_=.(;:^._1)

|domain error

| inv_z_=.( ;:^._1)

t=:*(;:^._1)

|domain error

| t=:*( ;:^._1)

(;:^._1)

|domain error

| ( ;:^._1)
