findInflectedfunction
Looks a text up as it is written or as a conjugated form: 食べなかった finds 食べる, with the path "negative, past". It loads the
text and the dictionary forms its ending could come from (a few pieces, about 25 kB gzipped each, where a plain lookup costs
one or two), and keeps those that are the kind of word the ending needs. See inflectedOf for the details, and
deinflect for the endings.
