Hi,
Don't forget words like indices, or vortices.
That's correct. But my dictionary also notes that the forms 'indexes' and vortexes' are also valid.

My understanding is that all words ending in -ex can be terminated -exes as well as -ices:
One could say indexes or duplices even though one is more likely to see the more modern duplexes where the word is more used in common parlance; usually words that are still written with the archaic termination -ices are used in the sciences like indices, vortices, etcetera.
