J Vocabulary, Primer, Single atom array

An array with a single atom is referred to as a singleton. All singletons
with the same atom display the same way. However, the fact that they have
different ranks affects how verbs act on them. This can be a pitfall for
beginners. It is important to remember that if it displays like an atom, but
does not behave like one, then check its rank.

Is there somewhere in the vocabulary where it mentions how to change a
single element list to an atom (shape 1 to shape empty)

   $34
   $,34
1
   #34
1
   #,34
1

Isn't the problem with shapes rather than rank?

In any case, I have a mental lapse and can't seem to change  ,34  to  34 .

Thanks in advance.

Linda
