Hi Tom, John, all, This is actually quite a useful point to bring up; it becomes extremely important in discussing lexicons in languages with a root and pattern morphology like Arabic and Hebrew. Another term, aside from word family, that I have seen in the lexicographic literature is 'expression', used "to refer to a word cluster composed of a lexical root plus all its morphological derivations (such as prefixed verbs or suffixed adverbs), as well as their orthographical, declensional and inflectional variants" (Diaz-Vera 2014). I have used "expression" in my diachronic extension of lemon. Cheers Fahad Diaz-Vera 2014.
