Line 36:
An important property of k syntax is it's ''static parsability'' - a parse tree can be built just by looking at the source code, without any knowledge of the values variables have at runtime.
Note that a k expression could have the syntactic role of a <tt><noun></tt> in the source code but evaluate to a function at runtime, for instance `{1+x}` or `(+)`. A bare `+` would be a verb, but enclosing anything in parentheses marks it as a noun - this is called ''nominalization'' ("turning into a noun").
