Deinflection: the dictionary forms a conjugated word could come from, and the path from there to it. 食べなかった is the
negative and then the past of 食べる. A rule table of a few hundred endings (written out from a few dozen templates) does the
walking, in no data and no network: it only proposes. Which proposals are real is for the dictionary to say, by the kind of
word each would have to be (see kinds of a Word), and findInflected and inflectedOf ask it.
Covered: godan and ichidan verbs, する (and a noun with する, 勉強した) and 来る (in kanji and kana), い adjectives, and な adjectives with だ, です and ではない; in the polite, negative, past, te, conditional, volitional, potential, passive, causative and causative-passive forms, with want-to (たい), looks-like (そう), too-much (すぎる), easy-to and hard-to, while (ながら) and the commonest verbs a te-form leads (ている, てしまう, ておく, てみる, ていく, てくる, てくれる, てあげる, てもらう), and chains of all of them. Not covered: the imperative, keigo verbs, 〜ず, 〜なければならない and nouns with だ.
