 * Another question: where does the -ex come from? Most of the nouns ending in -ex have a root that ends with a velar or are compounds with a verb that does, such as, , , or . Here we're saying that  or 🇨🇬 has acquired a velar from somewhere. There seem to be other examples, which we don't explain, either:  (>),  (>?),  (>? cf. ),  (>). There are also words of similar and unexplained form (of both Indo-European and unknown origin) such as ,  (insects); , , ,  (mammals); , , ,  (plants); , ,  (general plant terms), etc.


 * If it's of any use, here's a list of all Latin words we have (as of last May's database dump) that end in -ex, excluding ex itself and not listing multi-word derived terms/phrases (like dura lex, sed lex): apex, aruspex, auspex, berbex, biplex, bivertex, carex, caudex, cimex, codex, cortex, culex, decemplex, deex, dentex, duplex, exlex, faex/fex, famex, forfex, forpex, frutex, grex, haruspex, hirpex, ibex, ilex, imbrex, index, interrex, iudex, judex, latex, laurex, lex, multiplex, murex, nex, obex, objex, paelex, pantex, pelex, pellex, persimplex, podex, pollex, prex, pulex, pumex, quadruplex, quinquiplex, ramex, remex, rex, rumex, rupex, seminex, senex, septemplex, septimplex, sex, silex, simplex, sorex, subex, succortex, suffrutex, supellex, supplex, thraex, triplex, ulex, vertex, vervex, vespex, vibex, vicerex, vindex, vitex, vortex; and -fex (aedifex, artifex, aurifex, carnifex, dapifex, mellifex, offex, opifex, panifex, pontifex, retifex, signifex) and Idex, Thraex and Vindex.
 * I can also find mention of ambrex, aulex, halex, and irpex, which at least one very old book compares to ἀμάρη ("ditch, canal"), αὖλαξ, χηλή and ὄρπηξ, respectively, and I also see mention of eimex and varex. I spotted a couple of books, both very old and very recent, discussing -ex as a "suffix", but they may only mean "ending", as several discuss only the etymologies of individual words with that termination, with one saying they are "opaque in etymology, and possibly of some antiquity". And some of those terms with that ending, like some terms in -ax (e.g. anthrax), seem to have been borrowed from Greek rather than formed in Latin.
