By morphology codes do you mean the declensions and parts of speech in the 
Koine Greek language?  If so, a good place to start is the Greek/Hebrew Key 
Study Bible by Spiros Zodhiates, published by AMG.  It has part-of-speech, 
tense, mood, voice, etc. codes of many Greek and Hebrew words right in the 
Bible text.  (I have one).

I am interested in this, although I don't know realistically how much help I 
could be.  :-)  I have wanted to see the same improvements in the Greek texts.

Semi-related:  Why is the "Thayer" lexicon no different from the "Strongs 
Greek" lexicon?  When I saw Thayer's was a module, I nearly went ballistic 
with joy.  I was dissapointed to find it wasn't Thayer's after all.

God bless,
