(it is the plural of the noun, AXMAN)
Well, I came up with MANXES (plural of MANX, a type of cat), entered it into M-W, and got this:
Main Entry: 2Manx
Function: noun
Date: 1672
1 : the Celtic language of the Manx people almost completely displaced by English
2 plural in construction : the people of the Isle of Man
3 : MANX CAT
What's the call?
OK, we've had our first dispute, and I've explained to Sozobe that her word MANXES is acceptable.
Sorry Husker, your word will have to drop out at this stage.

OK, the Word Game continues with MANXES

Husker: I tried, but nothing happened!

All I can come up with so far is

which is who Mrs. SealPoet and I used to be married to...
Very cool, Swimp!
(It's in M-W and is a noun, so...)
Next one's easy:

REEXAMINES is good - it appears in MW10 as a single entry under "RE-"

I think REEXAMINES is the word size-limit for this Word Game, so here is the next word:
