To expand on morphology: The morpheme often spelled in English "-ly" is an English morpheme consisting of the phonemes /l/ and /y/. However, there is no English morpheme comprised of /n/ followed by /g/--that violates English morphological characteristics (I prefer that to "rules", which some folks use, since I'm a biologist and teleological language makes me all oooogly).
