Minimal set of operators for APL/J like language

Is there any work proposing a minimal set of orthogonal operators to make an APL like language?

APL, J, et. al seem to mix what in other languages most people (or at least I) would call core language vs. library functions. I'm interested in the core language. In particular, it's not clear to me which are the adverbs required to operate on different kinds of array slices.
