Since I included Quality I didn't think it was necessary to also include
morality. Pirsig makes it clear that Quality is the same as morality. At
the end of Chap. 7 in Lila he writes:
"Because Quality is morality. Make no mistake about it. They're
identical."
But, I have no problem with adding "Morality" as well as "Value" if you
think they make the list more clear and complete.

I don't understand how "morality" supplies the differences in the meaning of
all those words, especially since Quality, morality, value, reality,
experience, etc. appear to be identical in the MoQ. Recall the hot stove
example where "The value itself is an experience."
