Does it come from colligō axungias? With the xoñas from plural of axungia, axungias?

[Flavia]

The plural of axungia is axungiæ, axungias is the plural accusative.
But the romance languages use only the accusative form, so it will be more accurate to label this word axungiam with plural axungias.
Unless you're talking about Vulgar Latin.

Yes, cuaye- and -xoñas are from (inflected forms of) colligō and axungia, respectively.
