} The problem isn't the assignment but you haven't yet told the shell that
} "var" is a (local?) variable or what type it is.

Some quick tests:

torch% typeset var var[2]=two 
torch% typeset -p var
typeset var=two
torch% typeset -a array array[2]=two
typeset: array[2]: inconsistent type for assignment
torch% typeset -p array
typeset -a array
array=()
torch% typeset newarray=() newarray[2]=two
