I have some questions for the linguists:<br><br>1. Is "con-" considered a morpheme? I ask since it's just a variation of the still productive "co-".<br><br>2. If a word has a root that's lost meaning with a still productive affix attached, what is the root considered once you remove the affix? For example, in the modified-spelling "comunicate", if you were to consider "co-" and "-icate" morphemes, what would the now meaningless "mun" be considered?
