abstract = {{This paper makes a terminological proposal: that the old term morph can be used for a minimal linguistic form. Many linguists (not only morphologists) need such a term, because we often refer to minimal linguistic forms, but the various terms used by linguists in roughly this meaning are either unclear or do not refer to forms. The term {\textquotedblleft}morpheme{\textquotedblright} has three rather different meanings, and other terms such as {\textquotedblleft}vocabulary item{\textquotedblright} are too abstract. The term {\textquotedblleft}morph{\textquotedblright} can be used as the basis for defining other widely used terms such as {\textquotedblleft}root{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}prefix{\textquotedblright}, and {\textquotedblleft}suffix{\textquotedblright}, which are currently often defined as kinds of {\textquotedblleft}morphemes{\textquotedblright}. It can also serve as the basis for a clearer definition of suppletion (involving suppletive morph sets) and morph variants, thus avoiding the confusions surrounding the term {\textquotedblleft}allomorph(y){\textquotedblright}.}},
