vocd for stems and roots

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Annabelle,
     Yes, this is correct.  The whole command has a form like

vocd +t%mor -t* +s"*|*-%%" +s"*|*&%%" eve10.cha

You can further fine-tune the analysis by adding additional +s  
switches for other morphological patterns you want to treat as  
equivalent.

By the way, this info was missing from the CLAN manual.  I am adding  
it now.
