Abstract
The paper presents „Golden Rule of Morphology” that requires different morphological tags for different wordforms. This requirement is not fulfilled in recent morphological systems of Czech, mainly due to inconsistent treatment of different types of morphological and orthographic variants.
We define two major types of variants, namely inflectional variants, that concern only some combinations of morphological categories, and global variants that affect all wordforms of a given lemma. We propose how to tag the variants in order that they belonged to the same lemma, but were still distinguishable.
