I've made a page which allows you to search for all words in ODE with a specified suffix (e.g. -ium).
http://www.phptests.f-snet.com/suffix.php
(It's called phptests because, when I registered it, I was new to PHP and didn't yet have my own server).
Hope it's useful/entertaining.

Re: Suffix search
Wow, good idea. This will help answer some of the curious word-related thoughts I sometimes have. Nicely done.

Re: Suffix search
Thanks for the nice comments. I've slightly updated the page - now each word in the results links to its relevant page at onelook.com

Re: Suffix search
I don't know about others but I think a prefix search would be really useful too - that way you could see all the possible under/over, up/down words. Good little tool Chris, thanks.
