We consider shifted equality sets of the form EG(a,g1,g2) = {ω | g1(ω) = ag2(ω)}, where g 1 and g 2 are nonerasingmorphisms and a is a letter. We are interested in the familyconsisting of the languages h(EG(J)), where h is a coding and(EG(J)) is a shifted equality set. We prove several closureproperties for this family. Moreover, we show that everyrecursively enumerable language L ⊆ A* is a projectionof a shifted equality set, that is, L = πA(EG(a,g1,g2)) for some (nonerasing) morphisms g 1 and g 2 and aletter a, where πA deletes the letters not in A. Thenwe deduce that recursively enumerable star languages coincide withthe projections of equality sets.
