1. If you have not done so before, determine the plural morpheme.
Some of the roots of these words are different in the singular than they are in the plural. their meaning does not change but their forms do change when you add that plural. You can call these two systematically changing forms 'allomorphs' of the same morpheme.
2. Each word in the list above has two allomorphs: one that occurs regularly and the other that occurs when you add the plural. For each word, list its two forms.
What you list in 2 are the allmoprphs of that word. Remember that to be any kind of morphemic constituent: morpheme or allomorph, the form has to have meaning. So, just to be clear, the allomorphs for number 9 above are not 'a' and 'e'. 'a' and 'e' don't have menaing unto themselves.
3. If a word has two vowels in it in the singular, which vowel will change when the plural is added?
4. Describe the pattern. How does adding that plural suffix impact the root of the noun?
Go back to the first 'Witch Language' assignment. find those data and add them to your consideration. Here's the link to those data .
5. Now describe the pattern again, taking these new forms into account.
