There are certainly ways to work around this issue. It's just a minor matter of coding them up.
The important thing here is that adverb evaluation and verb evaluation are two different things, and when your adverb is named in a locale you need to capture the identity of that locale before creating the verb if you want the verb to execute within that locale. Here's an approach that might work for you: advA_example_=:1 :0 locale=. coname'' u helperA locale ) helperA_example_=:2 :0 u__v y ) Note also that if you don't like having a named helper, and if it's small enough, you could put it in line: advB_example_=:1 :0 locale=. coname'' u 2 :'u__v y' locale ) I haven't actually tested this, but I think I got this right - but let me know if it doesn't work for you.
