In the Sakhr product Al Qamoos (I use the CD, so I can't speak for the web
based version), one can search for patterns:
For example searching for aFaaCiil pattern: 5 words only (seems a bit to
little?):
aHaafiir
anaabiib
asaariir
afaawiih
araajiif
pattern: aFCilA: 16 words etc.

So if this is what John is looking for, Al Qamoos might be his salvation.
