New morphomic patterns from old
This chapter considers ways in which morphomic patterns can themselves change, yet without ceasing to be morphomic. Overall, the trend does not appear to be towards paradigmatic distributions that make sense. Rather morphomic patterns may change, giving rise to new morphomic patterns because of overlap with other morphomic patterns, accidental effects of sound change (particularly ones that produce syncretisms), or independent morphological changes. The data suggest that the predictability of distribution is superordinate to making sense in extramorphological terms.
