Question make - two wildcards in the target

Suppose I have a Makefile like this:

Code:
x/Ax: x/Bx
touch x/Ax
y/Ay: y/By
touch y/Ay
z/Az: z/Bz
touch z/Az

It does not look like a proper style for make. I would like to write something like
Code:
%/A%: %/B%
touch %/A%

but make does not accept it.
What is a right way to shorten such a sequence of rules?
