Answer
Old-fashioned dictionaries often have an index, the outer edge of some pages being cut to show where the entries for each letter begin. Otherwise, of course the dictionary is its own index. The word index is one of those x words whose plural properly ends in "seeze:" index - indices ( unlike "process" which is not an x word and whose plural does not end in "seeze").
