Merge candidate

Merge with Free Morpheme - both are part of the same definition (this being an inverse of Free or Unbounded Morpheme. A similar comment will be made in Unbounded Morpheme in the hope someone will combine these definitions! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jp adelaide (talk • contribs) 14:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Antidote example

"Antidote" is not a good example of how to extract an unbound morpheme, as the "dote" in "antidote" comes from Greek. The English word "dote" is unrelated and its presence in English is coincidental. I'll replace it with a better example as soon as I can think of one. A. Parrot (talk) 21:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tenant

Surely 'ten' is not a morpheme at all in this case? But part of the larger morpheme tenant?

Definitely so. That 'example' has been removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.152.84.2 (talk) 01:27, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Restored. - Altenmann >t 17:54, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'ten' is a morpheme here. Other examples would be 'untenable' and 'intention' (in the philosophical sense). Makeminemaudlin (talk) 07:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very confusing example though, as the "ten" in "tenant" is a cranberry morpheme. The example mixes two concepts. It's worth pointing out that a span of letters in a word might not refer to a word that they might form, as in "tenant". But it's confusing to then have "ten" happen to correspond to a different morpheme --- and then that morpheme happen to be a cranberry morpheme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.4.24 (talk) 06:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
