  Ax \Ax\, Axe \Axe\,, n. [OE. ax, axe, AS. eax, [ae]x, acas; akin
     to D. akse, OS. accus, OHG. acchus, G. axt, Icel. ["o]x,
     ["o]xi, Sw. yxe, Dan. ["o]kse, Goth. aqizi, Gr. ?, L. ascia;
     not akin to E. acute.]
     A tool or instrument of steel, or of iron with a steel edge
     or blade, for felling trees, chopping and splitting wood,
     hewing timber, etc. It is wielded by a wooden helve or
     handle, so fixed in a socket or eye as to be in the same
     plane with the blade. The broadax, or carpenter's ax, is an
     ax for hewing timber, made heavier than the chopping ax, and
     with a broader and thinner blade and a shorter handle.
  
     Note: The ancient battle-ax had sometimes a double edge.
  
     Note: The word is used adjectively or in combination; as,
           axhead or ax head; ax helve; ax handle; ax shaft;
           ax-shaped; axlike.
  
     Note: This word was originally spelt with e, axe; and so also
           was nearly every corresponding word of one syllable:
           as, flaxe, taxe, waxe, sixe, mixe, pixe, oxe, fluxe,
           etc. This superfluous e is not dropped; so that, in
           more than a hundred words ending in x, no one thinks of
           retaining the e except in axe. Analogy requires its
           exclusion here.
  
     Note: ``The spelling ax is better on every ground, of
           etymology, phonology, and analogy, than axe, which has
           of late become prevalent.'' --New English Dict.
           (Murray).

  Ax \Ax\, v. t. & i. [OE. axien and asken. See {Ask}.]
     To ask; to inquire or inquire of.
  
     Note: This word is from Saxon, and is as old as the English
           language. Formerly it was in good use, but now is
           regarded as a vulgarism. It is still dialectic in
           England, and is sometimes heard among the uneducated in
           the United States. ``And Pilate axide him, Art thou
           king of Jewis?'' ``Or if he axea fish.'' --Wyclif.
           'bdThe king axed after your Grace's welfare.'' --Pegge.
