I hate the word wax (verb). if something waxes it doesn’t make sense that it means it increases. Candles are made out of wax and when you burn a candle the wax decreases. It is counterintuitive to read wax and think that something is increasing.
Also race mixing is a viable and interesting plot element.

Old English weaxan "to increase, grow" (class VII strong verb; past tense weox, past participle weaxen), from Proto-Germanic *wahsan (source also of Old Saxon, Old High German wahsan, Old Norse vaxa, Old Frisian waxa, Dutch wassen, German wachsen, Gothic wahsjan "to grow, increase"), from PIE *weg- (source also of Sanskrit vaksayati "cause to grow,")
