Your /bin/sh scripting is rotting ;-) That is not a variable.
If you saw the script actually used the value 'x' then you have
spotted a bug.
That 'x' is not a magic but an old idiom to protect 'set' from
getting confused by "$1" that happens to begin with a '-'.
Setting random things is done by "set x random things"
immediately followed by shifting that x away.
