AMIXIA: absense of interbreeding.
ANNEXA: a variant of 'adnexa', which is: conjoined, subordinate, or associated anatomical parts.
We have AXEMAN and AXEMEN, but somehow only AXMAN but no 'axmen'... Must correct that. Come to think of it, I will probably find many words with -MAN without -MEN. What about 'axewoman' or 'axeperson'? That's a lot of words right there. How many words end in -MAN? 147. Only 25 end in -MEN. And only 6 end in -WOMAN. Damn, I need to do something about that.
EXINE: the outer layer forming the wall of some spores and pollen grains.
IXIA: an African plant.
A MAXIM is a saying or a general truth. MAXIMA is plural of 'maximum'. MAXIMIN is the maximum of a set of minima; while MINIMAX is the minimum of a set of maxima.
NIXIE is a water sprite (Germanic), but there are also nixie bulbs, which are digit displays using vacuum tube technology, from way back there.
NIXING... to NIX is to veto or reject.
XENIA: the effect of genes introduced by pollen (again!) especially on endosperm and embryo development.
