A name for a pet...?

Did you know that a pyx is 1) a small round metal receptacle used to carry the Eucharist to the sick and 2) a box used in a mint for deposit of sample coins reserved for testing weight and fineness?

I like that it has no vowels, except for the sometimes. Also, it has an x.

I did know the first definition, but just because I studied medieval art.
