$word(<index> <list>)

• If the <index> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
• If the <list> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
• The <index> argument is taken as an integer number.
• If <index> is a negative number, the empty string is returned.
• The return value is the <index>th word in <list>, counting from zero.
• Remember that <list> is a list of words.
• In either case, the returned value is NOT double quoted if it has spaces.
• If <index> is greater than the number of words in <list>, the empty string is returned.
