Though morph codes CAN be enumerated, this is NOT typically how they are 
laid out:

Robinsons:

Part of Speech[-...]   e.g. N- (noun)  V- (verb) CONJ (conjunction)

For a verb:

V-PAI1P = Present, Active, Indicative, 1st Person, Plural.

Each of these 'slots' can be changed and have certain values.


Please don't FORCE ALL ATTRIBUTE VALUES TO CONFORM TO OSISID's.  IF YOU 
DO IT HERE, YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY ARGUING TO DO IT EVERYWHERE.


Allowing it not to conform, does NOT MEAN that it CAN'T conform.  If an 
attribute value should conform, no problem, let it, and do lookups to a 
doc with osisID's.  But don't FORCE ALL VALUES TO CONFORM, please.
