Indax

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	Nothing particularly specific about this one.	An auditory in Hamburg. Recording site of volume 11 of the Tangerine Tree series.
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 at the moment. Pronounced [ʤæbdæks] however, not [ʤɑbdɑx].
Klusterax	It's got consonant clusters. Even initially. Shock, horror. (This feature is pretty rare in my schemings.)	From back 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?)
Oburax	Wannabe Ob-Ugric, with a twist.	Mangling of "Ob-Ugric".
Orvlax	Wannabe Turkic, or one such branch of it anyway.	A village in the Swedish-speaking south coast of Finland.
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. Intended to be somewhere between mellifluous and byzantine.	"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.	Webspeak. In particular from 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: Angrex (a temporary name as well, but the "x" is legit)
