Components can also be so set up as to make phonemically different alternants of one morpheme turn out to be componentally identical. When written componentally, then, the morpheme does not have different alternants, and a morphophonemic statement is thus avoided. An example of this is seen in fn. 13 above, where the basis for identical componental writings is the fact that a component of one morpheme is so defined as to extend over another morpheme which itself does not contain the component.
