That means any number, string, True/False, function reference, thread (coroutine) reference, table reference, "userdata" reference (usually a pointer to a C object), or nil can be an index.

Correction, any value except nil can be an index into a table. https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#2.1
