With that logic this echoes "echo". Question about echo!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo" (too much echoing :P):o

NAME

       print - shell built-in function to output characters to the screen or window

SYNOPSIS

   ksh
       print [ -Rnprsu [n]] [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

   ksh
       The shell output mechanism. With no flags or with flag - or -, the arguments are printed on standard output as described by echo(1).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n	       suppresses new-line from being added to the output.

       -R

       -r	       (raw  mode) ignore the escape conventions of echo. The -R option will print all subsequent arguments and options other than
		       -n.

       -p	       causes the arguments to be written onto the pipe of the process spawned with |& instead of standard output.

       -s	       causes the arguments to be written onto the history file instead of standard output.

       -u [ n ]        flag can be used to specify a one digit file descriptor unit number n on which the output will be placed. The default is 1.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful operation.

       >0	Output file is not open for writing.
