1 Destination Out doesn't exist since including a WR effect would turn WRWORD into a RDWORD instruction.
2 The Z flag is set (1) unless the main memory address (bits 13:1) is on a long boundary.

Explanation

WRWORD synchronizes to the Hub and writes the lowest word in Value to main memory at Address.

The WR effect can not be used with WRWORD as that would change it to a RDWORD instruction.

WRWORD is a hub instruction. Hub instructions require 8 to 23 clock cycles to execute depending on the relation between the cog's hub access window and the instruction's moment of execution. See Hub for more information.
