I dunno about nookyooler, but axe is prolly 17th century English Aristocrat by way of tidewater VA and Carolinas, as is much dialect we consider southern and uneducated; like "et" and "ain't" and dropping "ng"s and the drawl and slurring -- simply toppin', ol' fella. As I understand it, southern speech remains heavily infected by old English pattnerns that have long since been lost in England, as well as black patterns.
So perhaps "Riven DALE" is simply southern and aristocratic and thus to be imitated. I personally think that "ain't" fills a huge gap in our language and ought to be encouraged; as, too, "y'all".
