st: Addressing variables

Hi everybody,
I have a dataset with lag-variables, e.g. Lag1 - Lag5. I want to take the
mean of Lag-variables 1-"i", where "i" is a number defined in another
variable, e.g. a variable called "i".
So I'm trying to do something like this:
egen avg = rowmean(Lag1 - Lag"i")
but I cannot get it to work. Does somebody know how to address variable "i"
correctly?
Thanks and regards,
Chris
