It would be nice if we could abstract some generalizations from that
table, where the result is legal J but does not depend on the
definition of an adverb or conjunction.

For example:

If A B C is legal J (and a verb evaluation or a train) and A is a
noun, then A B C has the same type as C.

And, the same holds when A is a verb UNLESS B is a noun and C is a
conjunction (then A B C is an adverb).

Meanwhile, if A is a conjunction (and a legal J train), then A B C is
a conjunction,

Similarly, if A is an adverb, then the train A B C is an adverb with a
few exceptions where it's a conjunction (these are: C is a verb, and B
is a conjunction and C is not a noun).

That "A is an adverb" rule is a bit complicated, but maybe someone
else can think of a simpler way of expressing it?

Thanks,
