I think the first -wholename argument is meant to be
  '$(1)/$(firstword $(2))'

according to the comment above it.

Also, my man page for find(1) says this about -wholename:
  See -path.    This alternative is less portable than -path.

Do you find -wholename to be more readable? It's not an option I've used
much, so I need to look up the man page anyway, but -path is easier to
look up because you do not get redirected to another option like you do
with -wholename.
