replication missing from BNF?

I can't seem to find replication mentioned in the formal
BNF syntax (Annex A) of the Verilog-AMS LRM (2.3 nor 2.3.1).

Yet, replication shows up in 3.3 String data type
and there are several examples in 4.2.13 Concatenations.
IEEE 1800 has replication also in array literals
(see 5.11 of 1800-2009.pdf).
