Axions (in the general sense) may acquire qualitatively new couplings inside superfluids. Their conventional couplings to fermions, in empty space, involve purely imaginary masses; the new couplings involve emergent Majorana masses. The possibility of weak links for axions, recently put forward, is analyzed, rejected, and replaced with a non-local analogue.
