Are -logy and -logue interchangeable endings?

No. They are relatives in the Greek logos and legein family, but English -logy follows -logie, Latin -logia, and Greek -logiā, while prologue follows Greek prologos through Latin prologus and French prologue. Related ancestry does not erase distinct formations and transmission paths.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 321
