What version of make are you using? I don't see that message in my
version (3.79). The error message I have is:
the `word' function takes a positive index argument
which doesn't seem substantively different than your suggestion:

jn> the index argument of the word function must be positive.
I agree "index argument" isn't as obvious as it could be; I changed the
message to:
first argument to `word' function must be greater than 0
Thx.
