  Comments:
I don't think any of these senses are suffixes.
Although it's in GG5, I think the "hiding place" sense is archaic/obsolete. It's not in the other JEs or meikyo/shinmeikai (or even daijs). Daijr's example is from the Meiji era.
I don't think the "underbelly" sense is needed. The kokugos describe it as a "江戸後期の流行語".

Looks like the same as sense 6, and I see GG5 has just the one sense,

  Comments:
This was extensively discussed in 2012 within entry  2159590 (針孔/めど). I didn't want 穴 going in there.
Probably the best thing is to have a separate 穴/めど entry and be done with it. I'll propose that and drop it here.
