A lot more than that! Slavica has three good books: Gribble, A Russian
Root List (just the roots exceed 2000). Then you need to know about
prefixes that you put on before roots, suffixes that you put after roots,
and endings that you put on after the suffixes. There is something about
prefixes and suffixes in Gribble; more in Cubberley, Handbook of Russian
Affixes, and in Townsend, Russian Word Formation.
When you add them all up, it's quite a large number of morphemes. But
still it's worthwhile knowing about them, because each one shows up
over and over again in the formation of words.
