Presumably, this operator is overloaded, right? For example, it is typical integer multiplication for integers, scalar multiplication for vectors, and pointwise multiplication for functions; correct? (Modulo context/definitions)

And should matrix multiplication (of vectors or matrices as standard ly described) be considered "pi'i"?
In any case, I think that we should have an entry-wise/componentwise operator (de)convertion; that is, one which distributes an operator to each term in a tuple (or which can go layers deeper) if valid. This idea is rather like the dot operators in MatLab, "@@" in Mathematica, and relates to vectorization.

It's a good idea to map words to less polysemous operators like in MatLab.
P.S. I wish you created more brivla rather than cmavo connectives.

I agree.
Re: P.S. Unfortunately, that is not really how the language works; mekso operators almost surely should be cmavo. There are a few cases for brivla being useful (such as with .aigne), but those ideas are not really operators. :/
