Need a second set of eyes to spot the error

[myrroddin]

I am getting an "unexpected symbol near 'local'" error, and for the life of me, I can't see the thing. Is the word "list" a bad name for a variable in Lua and I missed the memo?

Full error:

3x !Aardvark\Options-Options.lua:18: unexpected symbol near 'local'

And lines 1-30 of my code:

local Aardvark = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("Aardvark")
local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("Aardvark", false)
local ldbIcon = LibStub("LibDBIcon-1.0")
 
local options = nil
local db
local exempt = {
    -- always allow these addons to print to chat
    ["!Aardvark"] = true,
    ["!Swatter"] = true,
    ["Ace3"] = true,
    ["BugSack"] = true,
    ["Bugger"] = true
}
local OptionsHandler = {} -- local function to this file
 
local AddOnList = {
    local list = {}
    for i = 1, GetNumAddOns() do
        local folderName, title = GetAddOnInfo(i)
        if not exempt[folderName] then
            local index = #list + 1
            list[index] = title
        end
    end
    table.sort(list, function(a, b) -- sort alphabetically
        return a.name > b.name
    end)
    return list
}
