Hum.  I wonder if one could mix Rupin with Allnoun...

But wait.  In order for reverse polish to work, do you *have* to have a
fixed number of operands for each operator?... hmmm....  In other words,
could you have 3 3 3 +  as well as 3 3 +?  Or would you have to make it
3 3 + 3 +?

That was me, Ed, not Nik.

I think part of the idea for Rupin was to eliminate parts of speech...
maybe a tone could determine how many slots a word had?
