A little more about morphic sturmian words
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 40 (2006) no. 3, pp. 511-518.

Among sturmian words, some of them are morphic, i.e. fixed point of a non-identical morphism on words. Berstel and Séébold (1993) have shown that if a characteristic sturmian word is morphic, then it can be extended by the left with one or two letters in such a way that it remains morphic and sturmian. Yasutomi (1997) has proved that these were the sole possible additions and that, if we cut the first letters of such a word, it didn't remain morphic. In this paper, we give an elementary and combinatorial proof of this result.
