Insert an Affix Process allomorph

You can insert a new Affix Process allomorph in an affix entry. You can also convert an existing affix allomorph to be Affix Process.

Instead of merely saying, for example, that "-um-" is an infix and it can occur in these positions: / # [C] _ or / # _ [V]", that there is a process that matches this sequence of segments and converts them to another sequence (including inserting "-um-" at the appropriate place).

1. Click the Allomorphs field.

2. Click the menu button that appears, and then click Insert Affix Process.

3. Enter the sequence of segments in the Affix Allomorph (Process) field.

4. Leave the Is Abstract Form field selected ().

5. Click the Morph Type field, and then use the Choose Morpheme Type dialog box to choose the morph type.

6. Build the Affix Process Rule.
