Usage notes
-axe also exists, not as a suffix, in words descending from a Latin word with -āginem (accusative singular of -āgō). For example: gl imaxe, from la imago imāginem.
another -uxe exists still frequent in use, from Latin la -ugo in accusative (gl albuxe, gl ferruxe, gl peluxe, gl penuxe and maybe gl meluxe and gl viruxe).
