According to a recent article on undocumented 8086/8088 opcodes (https://www.righto.com/2023/07/undocumented-8086-instructions.html https://www.righto.com/2023/07/undocumented-8086-instruction...), there are some two-byte opcodes: "For most of the 8086 instructions, the first byte specifies the instruction. However, the 8086 has a few instructions where the second byte specifies the instruction: the reg field of the ModR/M byte provides an opcode extension that selects the instruction."
