-Grammatically speaking, the *named_entity* operand is always an expression. Because `nameof` is not a keyword, a *nameof_expression* is always syntactically ambiguous with an invocation of the simple name `nameof`. For compatibility reasons, if a name lookup ([§12.7.3](expressions.md#simple-names)) of the name `nameof` succeeds, the expression is treated as an *invocation_expression* -- regardless of whether the invocation is valid.

-The meaning of the *named_entity* of a *nameof_expression* is the meaning of it as an expression; that is, either as a *simple_name*, a *base_access* or a *member_access*. However, where the lookup described in [§12.7.3](expressions.md#1273-simple-names) and [§12.7.5](expressions.md#1275-member-access) results in an error because an instance member was found in a static context, a *nameof_expression* produces no such error.
+Simple name and member access lookups are performed on the *named_entity* at compile time, following the rules described in [§12.7.3](expressions.md#1273-simple-names) and [§12.7.5](expressions.md#1275-member-access).
