*The example "prefer" for base words is not correct in the video. "prefer" is a base word and not a root, as said in the video, because it consists of two morphemes. The problem occurs when saying it is not a stem. The morpheme "fer" is not a stem as it has no lexical meaning, which is also what is said in the video. "prefer" in its entirety is a stem with lexical meaning. So "prefer" is a base word and a stem.
