Since no one else has said so, there are a few families of words that are regularly derived from more general suffixes. -aĵo to mean "meat of __ animal" is such an example. Of course -aĵo has many other meanings, but this is a convenient way to derive the meat from the animal.
-ujo (container) as "bush/plant containing this fruit/flower" is another such suffix: rozujo (rosebush), pomujo (apple tree).

Of course -aĵo has many other meanings, but this is a convenient way to derive the meat from the animal.Actually that was my original point. I have been told that -aĵo means "meat of __ animal", but the examples given at lernu.net for araneaĵo, and azenaĵo do not follow that rule.
And so far, nobody has answered my question of how to say donkey-meat. Is "azenviando" the right word?

Yes, "azenviando" is right word, but

~aĵ/o
