What is the syntax for "some", as in...

tell application "iTunes"
        tell playlist "ClodiFon"
                name of some track whose (database ID) is dbid
        end tell
end tell
I couldn't find it in my copy of The AppleScript Language Guide (1996 edition).

The index is your friend. "some, reserved word: p. 170". I can't refer you to the 1996 HTML any more, but in the current edition it's <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/reference/ASLR_reference_forms.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000983-CH4g-BCIJEEHE>.

The use of "some" there is a bit gratuitous, since there will be at most one match. "First" would have worked just as well.
