Hspell already does this, and more. This is known as a "morphological
analyzer". It is explained on our site, and you can also find on our site
a link to a live demo.

Eli, I think this discussion is starting to get a little too specific for
this list and I think we should continue it elsewhere.

I opened a new mailing list for Hspell, at hspell-devel at lists.sourceforge.net
If you're interested, please join this list (via the web interface at
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hspell-devel) and we can continue
this discussion, and other hspell-related technical discussions, there.
Everybody who is interested in contributing to Hspell - whether its current
capabilities or completely new ones - is very welcome to subscribe to this
list.

The "mila" (center of knowledge for processing Hebrew,
http://www.mila.cs.technion.ac.il/) started something like this (word list
with niqqud). They create a word list that was originally forked from Hspell's
(and since grew independently), and later they started adding niqqud to the
base words - but only did it for part of the lexicon. This is a far-cry,
however, from knowing how to inflect these base-words with correct niqqud,
and I don't believe they ever did that.

Nadav.
