It’s possible to find the last letter?

S E A R C H:
my ?????e

my= is a the first word in the search (may be ours, yours, any word)

?????e = is the second word where grep must detect the last letter, e.

R E S U L T S:
my eye

my fate
my shame

my aerogramme

Thanks
ps. Have a very precarious grep that only catches the condition in a word: (o)h?\b

Hi @palala fog, so you want a separate grep that will select two words my * ?

(\bmy)\s([[:alpha:]]+\b)

hi m1b,

grep is working as it recognizes words ending in a specific letter.

Is it possible (since I didn't mention it) that the result shows the two words involved?
Tried to do it but the expression is a unity.

the idea is to catch both to make lists.

Yes, m1b. Thanks. It is perfect. Thanks also for your time.
With Indexmatic (thanks M. Autret) it will be perfect and easy to accomplish the required lists.

Dear Fringe: is our fault. We couldn't put in motion your formulae:

Hi Mayhem SWE,
Let me clarify the purpose of this grep, not clearly specified.
We need to catch groups of words that belong to a gendered idiomatic language: masculine, feminine and neuter. Concordance and genre should explain the grep's nature. Don't match and mistakes are detected.
Thanks for you ideas that helped the whole thread.
