Principle 6. Morpheme alternants whose distribution is not phonologically definable exhibit sub-morphemic differences of meaning. [...] different selection (i.e. distribution) of allomorphs implies that they have different meaning. - Nida (1948), a pag.431 In morphology we must admit sub-morphemic differences of both form and meaning within the phonetic-semantic distinctiveness of single morpheme (its non-resemblance to other forms). - Nida (1948), a pag.434
