   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.
