What is a phonestheme in lexical studies?

Options:

A submorphemic sound–meaning association recurring across words
A phoneme that contrasts meaning in a language
A borrowable morpheme from another language
An allophonic variant conditioned by stress

Correct answer: A submorphemic sound–meaning association recurring across words

Explanation: A phonestheme is a recurrent sound–meaning link below the morpheme level; for example, English 'sn-' appears in words like 'sneeze', 'snore', and 'snout', suggesting a nose-related association across items.
