I'd agree with Thomas that this is in fact covered by partial 
colexification. You could also say that it is language-internal cognacy, 
since you assume the morpheme to be reused in the same language. Our ERC 
project (https://calclab.org) deals with this in particular in the 
context of word families. Additional terms are not needed, in my 
opinion, they make it sound more strange as it is: all languages re-use 
lexical material, in historical linguistics we have always been talking 
about cognates in this context.

analysis of evolutionary, typological, and cognitive dimensions of word 
families*. In: : *International Conference of Linguists*.0. 1-12.
