  morph \morph\ (m[^o]rf), n. (Linguistics)
     A sequence of phonemes, often a word fragment, which
     constitutes the minimum unit of meaning or syntax within a
     given word. A morph may be one of several variants of a
     morpheme, depending for its individal form on the context in
     which it occurs. Thus the morphs -s and -es are variants of


     the morpheme by which the plural form of an English noun is
     expressed.
