Linda, The problem (13 : 'y v y') occurs where v is ~: -: +: +. >. <. * *. *: +
And also with >: > <: < but in this case it changes the symbol used as well. It is related to the dyadic verb being reflexive That is when (x v y) -: (y v x) The reason for this behaviour can be seen when inspecting 13 : 'y v x' which is usually translated to v~ However when v is reflexive the ~ can be omitted. Additionally as (y <: x ) -: ( x >: y) a swap of verb to the related verb without needing the ~ is used. However as you have shown this is not appropriate for 'y v y' although it is OK for 'y v x' Ian Ian Shannon Landscape Modelling & Decision Support Scientific Services Office of Environment and Heritage Department of Premier and Cabinet PO Box A290 Sydney South NSW 1232 T: +61 2 99 955 490 E: Ian (determinant) Shannon (atop) environment (determinant) nsw (determinant) gov (determinant) au > > > Would these examples help in correcting the problem? > > > > why=: 13 :'y+y' NB. wrong > > why > > + > > why 3 > > 3 > > why=: 13 :'y-y' NB. right > > why > > -~ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is intended for the addressee(s) named and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
