\idea\ denotes merely outward appearance.
Both \morfh\ and \schma\ express something more than that. They too denote outward form, but as including one's habits, activities and modes of action in general. In \morfh\ it is also implied that the outward form expresses the inner essence, an idea which is absent from \schma\. \morfh\ expresses the form as that which is intrinsic and essential, \schma\ signifies the figure, shape, as that which is more outward and accidental. Both \schma\ and \idea\ therefore deal with externals, \schma\ being more comprehensive than \idea\, while \morfh\ deals with externals as expressing that which is internal.
