acutally maybe row is not the word, these are 1-d arrays, so maybe entry? value at index i?

Sorry to do a bit purist, but 'array index' sounds also a bit strange when you pass a Series and not an array. And given that just 'at index' can be confused with the actual index labels, maybe just 'at position ..' ?
