reading value of concatenation with ksh

$word1
$word2
I want to display
village
home

Thanks

for (( i=1; i<=2; i++ ))
do

word1='village'
word2='home'

con="$"word"$i"
echo $con

done

Code:
word1='village'
word2='home'
echo "$word1 $word2"

If you want to deal with an array , use brackets []

I will be calling a function inside the loop "for" and I want to pass word"i" as a parameter so I need to make it work the way I displayed it in the code as con="$"word"$i"

Thanks
