 Now for some technical details.
 The line on which

 occurs in a parameter expansion, is the line that contains the

+.Dv LINENO .
 In the case of nested expansions, that

 In an arithmetic expansion, where no
 .Sq \&$
 is used to evaluate
-.Ev LINENO
+.Dv LINENO
 but
-.Ev LINENO
+.Dv LINENO
 is simply referenced as a variable, then the value is the
 line number of the line that contains the

 For functions line one of the function definition (when relevant)
 is the line that contains the first character of the
