+* ## Notes
+*
+* -   This function ignores the first ndarray-like object, which is assumed to be the input ndarray.
+* -   This function mutates the provided output array.
+*
+* @private
+* @param {ArrayLikeObject<Object>} arrays - list of ndarray-like objects
+* @param {Array<Object>} out - output array
+* @returns {Array<Object>} output array
