How to read $n\frac{k}{~}$?

93 Views Asked by At

So, a binomial coefficient $\binom{n}{k}$ can be read as “$n$ choose $k$”. I was wondering if there's a similar verb to describe falling factorials $n\frac{k}{~}$. I know that it's usually read as “$k$-permutations of $n$”, but I don't like this terminology for two reasons:

  1. It reverses the order of arguments.
  2. It doesn't use a verb.

The best terminology that I came up with is “$n$ arrange $k$”. Is there a better verb to describe this?
