79h is type for mapped list of lists of GUID data type.

Reference: http://code.kx.com/q/ref/datatypes/ Section: Nested Type.

From page:

Nested Type:

These types are used for mapped lists of lists of the same type. The numbering is 77 + primitive type.

Guid type is 2 which gives it's nested type value=79

ex: 

      q)`:t1.dat set  2 2#0x0 sv 16?0xff
      q)  a:get `:t1.dat
      q) type a
      q) 79h
