Homonymy is a relationship between words with the same form (sound or spelling)
but different meanings that cannot be connected.
*Unlike polysemy, meanings cannot be related.

Allomorph - ANSWER [W]When we come across a collection of various morphs,
all variations of the same morpheme, we can use the prefix allo- (= one of a closely
related set) to describe them as allomorphs of that morpheme.
Derivational affix - ANSWER Derivational morphemes change the grammatical
categories of words. For example, the derivational morpheme -er transforms the
verb bake into the noun baker. The morpheme -ly converts the adjective swift to the
adverb quick. We can use the derivational morpheme -ness to convert adjectives
like happy into nouns like ashappiness. Other prevalent suffixes are -ism, -tion,
-able, -ment, and -al. Prefixes such as un-, in-, pre-, and a- are also examples of
derived morphemes.
-adds meaning to the stem and modifies the word, such as a noun to an adjective.
Inflectional affix - ANSWER Inflectional morphemes function as grammatical
markers for tense, number, possession, and comparison. In English, inflectional
morphemes include the suffixes -s (or -es);'s (or s'); -ed; -en; -er; -est; and -ing. An
inflectional morpheme cannot modify the meaning or grammatical class of the
words it is attached to, and all such phrases will have a predictable meaning.
attach - ANSWER a letter or sound added to a word that alters its meaning or
function.
Prefix- the beginning of a word.
A suffix is the end of a word (root).
