I agree that „first second …“ would be easier for an english speaker.
Having the ordinal number 1 based but the nth number 0 based is irritating (and sadly there is no „last“ or „penultimate“).

Actually I was looking for something like last element or the element before the last element.

(nth -1 row1) for the last row would be fine, but I guess that is the Python whispering in my ear.

Combined with the right :exports I now get what I want.

Thanks again for this additional information.

Greetings Axel
