Template talk:not a morph

What does "not a morph" mean? Do you mean "morpheme"? You marked бес- this way, for example; this is an allomorph of the morpheme без-. You also marked numerous borrowed prefixes like дека- and электро-, which are clearly morphemes. Benwing2 (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * you say that allomorph is different from morph/morpheme which is great.
 * Text says "not a ..." about subject "allomorph"
 * I have no opinion what should be placed in "..."
 * дека- is not listed at 755-763 pp. of РГ-80. (all morphs are here).
 * SI system is not part of РГ-80.
 * I removed similar mark at полу- only when I got information where it is claimed as "productive", not just "sequence" of anything. d1g (talk)`
 * I don't think saying "not a morph" conveys any useful info, even for people who know what a morph is, which does not include the vast majority of our readers. Saying that бес- is an allomorph of без- might be more useful, although (a) it's pretty obvious from the fact that бес- is given as an alternative form of без-, (b) again, most readers won't have any idea what a morpheme, morph or allomorph is. (BTW morphemes and allomorphs are both morphs.) As for дека-, this is clearly a morpheme, despite not being included in the list you cite; few if any such lists are comprehensive, and that list appears to omit most or all borrowed morphemes.

 * Quite clearly it indicates that list at 755-763 pp. is useless to work with exact morpheme/allomorphs.
 * changed wording to "Unlisted as"
 * feel free to create template in definition section
 * if you have access to the exact rule anywhere which allows or explains usage of SI system (likely among special sections about derived lexicon) do so.]
 * I was only able find information about полу-, not дека- d1g (talk) 18:46, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

RFDO discussion: April–May 2017
User:Benwing2 and User:Atitarev have already voiced support for deleting this in the BP. We don't propose template deletions in the BP for a variety of reasons, one of which is that discussions often end without resolution. I am posting this here to ensure that it gets deleted if that is consensus, which I believe it is likely to be. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:21, 25 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete for reasons outlined in the BP. It seems odd to fixate on whether or not one work lists something as a morpheme, since (as pointed out in the BP) the work is deficient and fails to list many morphemes. - -sche (discuss) 02:46, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
