The wording here is unclear or wrong:

---
     shift
     shift variable
          The members of argv are shifted to the left, discarding
          argv[1]. It is an error for argv not to be set or to
          have less than one word as value.  The second form per-
          forms the same function on the specified variable.
---

Why is argv mentioned here?  Shouldn't it be replaced with "variable"?  This
snatch was taken from the man page on paris.
