This is an index of my projects without a proper name, identifiable by the suffix -ax. Trisyllabic names with <x> = /ks/ are preferred; bisyllabicity is a minimum requirement. I've hanged onto not using any English /ɑ/'s, even against the temptation of such good names as /bɑlɑks/.
| Name | What | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Audimax | unused name | An auditory in Hamburg |
| Battlax | They start so innocently. "Y'kno, why do so few protolanguages have distinct postalveolars?" | "Battle Ax" |
| Betamax | Former name for Ouiqál | Obvious |
| Bustax | "Buster" (no specific reason) | |
| Jabdax | A labialization sketch, dumped in Pakistania'. | The piece "Jabdah" by Koto was playing when coining the name. |
| Klusterax | It's got consonant clusters. Even initially. Shock, horror. (Actually, this feature is pretty rare in my schemings.) | This one's back from when the names still had some relation to the project in question. |
| Mandersax | My go at the RL Indian P PH B BH system | Torn between "saxophone" and "sacks" as a link to the ending, I chose neither & went with something randomly phonaesthetic. (…Why do I feel like spelling that word with ae when I otherwise do fine with just e?) |
| Sahax | Wannabe Pirahã. | Broken from the first suitable Pirahã word I found containing the sequence <ax> - saha-xai, "shouldn't". |
| Sadabax | A West Altaic' branch. | "Saddlebacks". Ironically it's starting to seem that Sadabaxians are some of the least nomadic Altaic peeples. |
| Telefax | The initial idea was "/ɬ x/ as the only fricativs". Some Etruscan went in there too, and I got inspired to add implosivs too. NOT A KITCHEN SINK I SWEAR | Do you really need to ask? |
| Tonax | Former, or shall we say the more official name for Dork Elvish | Tones. See how these used to work? |
| Univax | Explained on page itself. | Mix of "Unix" and "Univac" |
| Wtfhax | Ack, I don't remember anymore… how suitable. | An image macro of a lion on stilts sneaking on a giraffe. |
| Zithromax | Yet another phonology doodle. | A tradename of some drug, IIRC; possibly influenced by Starship Bistromath |
Not to be confused with: Ängrex (a temporary name as well, but the "x" is legit)
