The original issue, the error thrown by your script, can be traced back to the
fact that:
line tLine of fld "results"
"tLine" is not an integer. A line number has to be so designated, and your
"line" is of the form:
"someWord" & tab & 1
This throws the parser for a loop.

Subject: Syntax for incrementing a numeric 'word'
Hi folks,
I'm working on a simple script to identify and count the unique words dumped
into a 'Source' field to create a 'Results' list field with the word and
counter.
However, this script is throwing errors at the line when I attempt to increment
the second word by adding 1 to it. What's wrong with the syntax for
incrementing
the counter chunk?
on mouseUp
put empty into field "Results"
repeat for each word tWord in field "Source"
if field "Results" is empty then put tWord & tab & 1 after field "Results"
if tWord is among the words of field "Results" then
repeat for each line tLine in field "Results"
if word 1 of tLine <> tWord
then exit repeat
else add 1 to word 2 of line tLine in field "Results"
end repeat
else put tWord & cr after field "Results"
end repeat
end mouseUp
Best,
Keith..
