I think this will get you close:

   put fld 1 into tQuote
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of truewords in tQuote
     put tWordLocation into tWordLocationA[trueword x of 
tQuote][x][tWordLocation]
   end repeat

You could count word instances incrementally with more scripting, but 
this short way gives you something similar. It stores the word position 
to get this:

tWordLocationA["Cut"][1][100,320]
tWordLocationA["Cut"][4][300,320]
tWordLocationA["the"][2][200,320]
tWordLocationA["the"][5][400,320]
tWordLocationA["apple"][3][500,320]
tWordLocationA["banana"][6][500,320]

If you do want an incremental word count, check the number of elements 
in each array key and add 1 to it instead of using "x" as the counter 
when filling the array.
