If you have ray on ray action and take an x-ray picture, is it x-ray ray ray or should it be x x x-ray?

Homologous maybe, but technically they’re called… ‘rays’.
Ray rays.
Radially radiating ray rays.
And since I don’t see any claspers, I chose to name this ray Rae.
Rae ray’s radially radiating rays.
