You can't change the *iterator variable* (above j), which is *always*
readable only.
[The (modifiable) *container variable* is in the example above cc.]

This works, as already indicated.

repeat for each line j in cc
  if the num of items of j > 1 then
    put return & (1+item 1 of j, item 2 to -1 of j) after var2
  else put return & 1+item 1 of j after var2
end repeat
