<source lang=apl inline>⍥</source> and <source lang=apl inline>⍤</source> ([[Over]] and [[Atop]]) both apply the left operand after the right operand. However, <source lang=apl inline>⍥</source> has a larger "circle of influence" in that it applies the its right operand twice (once on each argument) while <source lang=apl inline>⍤</source> only applies it once (between the arguments).

<source lang=apl inline>*</source> and <source lang=apl inline>⍣</source> repeatedly apply multiplication and a function, respectively. The star symbolises [[power (function)]]/[[power (operator)]].
