Who can explain to me, in layman's (or at least to someone who has only taken 2 linguistic courses) terms what "morphophonemic" means?
See, I'm cataloging a book called (and I'm translating here): Lexical Morphology : the formation of words.
The original catalog record had this on it, as subject headings:
Spanish language ǂx Morphology.
Spanish language ǂx Lexicography.
Spanish language ǂx Lexicography ǂv Problems, exercises, etc.
Morphology, I understand, but lexicography? That's about linking data in dictionaries, is it not?
So, I've concluded that the last 2 subject headings are bunk, as this has nothing to do with dictionaries, whatsoever.
Chapter titles of the work include (and I'm translating, so don't mind me if it sounds clunky):
Analysis of the complete word
Derivation
Suffixes
Prefixes
Composition
Other processes of word formation: shortening, abbreviations and acronyms.
There are charts and tables or suffixes and prefixes. Am I correct to assume that that is morphophonemics?

six years pass...
From an academic paper I'm reading:
Liberals should be drawn to more “feminine” phonetic structures, i.e., names that are multi-syllabic, with “softer” phonemes like IYo and L, and names that begin or end in vowels, particularly a “schwa a” (AHo) sound.
What are these phonemes "IYo" and "AHo"? Why can't I find reference to them anywhere?

Wait -- I mistranscribed: it's "IY0" and "AH0" (zeroes, not Os). Which looks to be ... Arpabet.
