|`(cond (test1 action1) (test2 action2) ... (testn actionn))`|The first clause whose test evaluates to non-nil is selected; all other clauses are ignored, and the consequents of the selected clause are evaluated in order. If none of the test conditions are evaluated to be true, then the cond statement returns nil.|This special form is method of control flow.|Language|
|`(do a b c ...)`|`do` takes a list of s-expressions and evaluates them in the order they were given (in the current scope), and then returns the result of the last s-expression.|This special form allows lambda functions to have multi-step bodies.|Language|
|`(scope a b c ...)`|`scope` takes a list of s-expressions and evaluates them in the order they were given _in a new scope_, and then returns the result of the last s-expression.|This special form allows the user to evaluate blocks of code in new scopes.|Language|
|`(defun name params body)`|`defun` evaluates none of its arguments.|This special form allows the user to conveniently define functions.|Language|
|`(define name value)`|`define` evaluates the `value` argument, which is then assigned to `name` in the current scope.|This special form allows the user to bind atoms to values in a scope.|Language|
|`(defn name params body)`|`defn` evaluates none of its arguments.|This special form allows the user to conveniently define functions.|Language|
|`(def name value)`|`def` evaluates the `value` argument, which is then assigned to `name` in the current scope.|This special form allows the user to bind atoms to values in a scope.|Language|
|`(lambda params body)`|`lambda` evaluates none of its arguments.|This special form allows the user to define anonymous functions.|Language|
|`(quote x)`|`quote` evaluates none of its arguments.|This is equivalent to the `'expr` syntactic sugar.|Language|
|`(for x list ...)`|`for` evaluates only its list argument.|`for` iterates through the list storing each element in `x`, and then evaluating all of the rest of the values in the `for` body. It then returns the last value evaluated.|Language|
