Source

A consonantal root is the ordered melody of consonants that a root-and-pattern morphology stores apart from its vocalism and its template, the nonconcatenative counterpart of a linear Morph. The type of segments is a parameter, so that a root may be a list of feature bundles, of IPA symbols or of coarser classes. In autosegmental terms a root is an unlinked melody on the consonantal tier, and TemplateMatch associates it with a template.

The roots of other programs live under their owners: a morphological core is a morph of a primary word (Morphology.IsCore), and DistributedMorphology.Root and ArgumentStructure.Root are the acategorial terminal and the lexical-semantic root.
