Help with -uks?

I found a plural form used for living beings, uks - as in pas
pasiooks (clothmen or Frenchmen.)

Would this also hold for plants? Does anyone know if this survived in the
Jargon in any other plural?

(The question is, would it be an incorrect usage to use lemeluks as a plural
for lemel (mule.)

Also, the French term for donkey is le ane. Is this also the word used in
the jargon?

As before, if you're interested, please look at any and all of my postings,
and if you see errors or places for improvement, please comment.
