An '''allomorph''' is a variant form of a [[morpheme]] that is produced under certain conditions.

For example, the English article ''a'' has an allomorph ''an'' that appears before words starting with a vowel.

In Toaq, the tonal [[determiner]] {{Done|2}} has a non-tonal allomorph {{t|ló}} that can only appear when another grammatical process needs a full syllable to hold onto, such as in the context of [[object incorporation]].

== History ==

It used to be the case that the word {{t|jeı}} had an optional verb-tone allomorph {{Done|1}} used with pronouns, so that {{t|suq}} could be used as a "verb" that was really equivalent to {{t|jeı súq}}. However, nowadays people just say {{t|jeı súq}}.
