In the dictionary, the word reflexive applies when there is a monadic argument and passive applies when there are two arguments. I tried to use the vocabulary for my names. I did wonder about "tally of a reflexive key" and "reflexive key of a tally".
I took the word "list" from the Dictionary in the third column concerning nouns. A. Nouns Nouns are classified in three independent ways: numeric or literal or symbol; open or boxed; arrays of various ranks. The atoms of any array must belong to a single class: numeric, literal, symbol, or boxed. Arrays of ranks 0, 1, and 2 are also called atom, list, and table, or, in math, scalar, vector, and matrix."

The particular misfit I see is "a tally of a reflexive key of a list." Instead, I'd say "a passively-keyed tally of items." Although I've changed both "reflexive" to "passive" and "list" to "items," the part of my phrasing I consider by far most important is the attempt to make tally an aspect of keying. --Tracy 2012/1/15 Linda Alvord <lindaalv...@verizon.net> > Actually I didn't use [: in the explicit definition.
