Hi John,

Not sure what you mean by "base morpheme".
By "base morpheme" I mean the main part of the word - not the prefix(es) or suffix(es).
This should have been clear by my use of the example below of:

<H:A/$OM"R> vs <HA/$.OM"R>:
<$OM"R> = Qal Participle Masculine Singular
<$.OM"R> = Qal Participle Masculine Singular

So lets just focus on the dagesh on the base.
So in the above example the dagesh has no effect on the meaning of the base.
Its Qal Participle Masculine Singular with or without the dagesh.

Are there any examples where the dagesh (and it alone) will change the meaning?
